And I am smitten with a dark-lipped, softly nasal-voiced one, like a bān-tree branch.
My love is slender like a bending branch
He has become sweet of fruit, bitter in unwarranted reproach.
In the morning the orchard is sweet after pruning

The swords of his gaze gain in sharpness
His glances grow brighter if he smiles
whenever they grow dull, upon his cheek—the whetstone.
When his cheek is kissed
