She came with violets and offered them in greeting—
Violet came and greeted with it
she whose figure resembles supple spear-shafts.
From its nape tells of flexible twigs

As though, in her palm, they were tears
As if in her palm tears
from eyes that had been filled with antimony kohl.
From eyes that were filled with languor
