Night's darkness dyed the edges of your cheek a hue—
The nights have darkened the edges of your cheeks
Black, yet in its midst a moon shone brilliantly.
Yet amidst the darkness shines the moon's glow

The ignorant one marveled at what I say—has he not seen
The ignorant are puzzled when I say

The moon is bright in the blackest night
