1. Wearing a dress of dark satin
And of green brocade that glimmers and shines

2. At her neck a necklace of ambergris
Though she did not seek to perfume herself

3. With Yemeni kohl on her eyelids
That took on a saffron hue from the kohl

4. Her sleeves embroidered with patterns
That her nightly vigil created like lines of prose
