1. وحِلْسٍ من الكتان أخضر ناعمٍ

    توسَّنه داني الرَّباب مَطيرُ

    And a soft green carpet of flax,

    A low-hanging, rain-bearing white cloud visited it as it slept.

  2. إذا درجت فيه الشّمال تتابعت

    ذوائبهُ حتى تقول غدير

    When the north wind glides through it, there follow in succession

    Its tresses, until you say: 'A pool!'
