She returned; yet, had she done so, she would not have been loved.
She returned, though if she had acted kindly, she would not have become estranged
So she roams from one barren waste to another,
Yet she continues to toss restlessly like waves of overflowing generosity

Idle chatter of envious souls did not tempt her

Bent with the difficulties of mighty determination
Who hastens all the more in the face of threats.
Growing more intense in his defiance of threats

So they left gently, submissively
A formidable one who devours like the frothing one.
Like silent wolves devouring rabidly
