The scent of apples is no mere scent to me;
The scent of apples is, to me, no mere scent.
No—it is the friend of my soul:
No—but it is a friend to my soul.

حُمرَةَ الخَدِّ وَاِخضِرارَ عِذارٍ
فَمَليحٌso a beauty يَطوفُcircles حَولَaround مَليحِa beauty
فَمَليحٌ يَطوفُ حَولَ مَليحِ
the redness of a cheek and the greenness of its down—
A cheek’s redness and the greenness of cheek-down—
one beauty circling another beauty.
So one beauty circles another beauty.
