Do you not see the sun as she rises,
Do you not see the sun as she rises,
preventing us from prolonging our gaze?
Keeping us from gazing at her for long?

Red, yellow, in her shifting hues,
Red and yellow in her changing hues,
as though she complains of sleeplessness—
As though she complains of sleeplessness,

like a bride on the morning after her wedding night,
Like a bride the morning after her wedding night,
holding her mirror, borrowed from the moon.
Holding her mirror fashioned from the moon.
