And graceful maidens entice me with remembrance of the encampment;
And graceful maidens entice me to recall the dwelling;
In it are stately beauties and fair, dark-eyed women; in it are wide-eyed maidens.
within it are proud beauties and dark-eyed, wide-eyed maidens.

From black eyes they have drawn gleaming white blades,
They unsheathed white blades from their black pupils,
so you cannot tell: songstresses or smiths.
so you cannot tell: singing girls or smiths?
