1. A maiden in life’s streams
I clothed her in youth’s robe

2. And adorned her with honor’s jewelry
Above her camel litters and mounts

3. If she walked her gait forbid tread near
I took from her the suppleness of feet

4. And her back rent what was under it
As the sun rends the dress of clouds

5. And I praise her body that it
Has generous bones, cowardly flesh
