1. O flower that grows and blooms
Above the grave of the poet

2. No wonder if when it matured
It took from him the beauty of spirit

3. For poetry gives life like flowers
Of splendid and brilliant beauty

4. Why not carry for his soul
The scent of the departed beloved

5. His passion was the quintessence of his life
Gazes of a shy doe

6. Why then pierce his heart
With arrows of a cold glance

7. O verse of poetry from a youth
Who became hostage to tombs

8. You brought him out from the soil
Breaths of that wizard

9. O kiss that came to him from
A generous, pure king

10. You descended to console
In the tomb the martyr of ill-fated luck

11. I imagine you in the daylight
A ray of blooming love

12. And I imagine you in the darkness
The eye of the enamored watcher

13. You are a smile appearing
At the arrival of a visiting loved one

14. You contain mysteries of beauty
Revealed to the beholding eye
