Overflowing, scattering from its rising
Pearls of water upon the pearls of its blossoms.
Onto the pearls of its light, a string of water,

And the rush of its east wind has begun to stir up
And the galloping of its youth in the morning stirs up
A dust cloud of its camphor in the open air.

The birds continue to be busy with its shade,
Exchanging varied strains of song within it.

And enrapture you with piping, without a flute.
And pours on you music without flute,

For Time is elegantly robed.
For time is most graceful of gowns.
