1. Imagination came to us from you here brisk and gentle,
And so brought us anxiety and sleeplessness.

2. How did you find your way to a group between valleys,
When you did not inquire directions or take provisions?

3. O fairest of people from one generation to the next,
My heart swoons for you - nay, it flies or almost does.

4. No wind has blown from your land towards me
Except the water in my eyes wavered or overflowed.
