1. A calm that, when a hand makes it speak with feeling,
The tongues of the eyes can hardly utter it,

2. As if it were shyness in the cup of its drinker,
So he met it when the parting was yellow.

3. Or like the cheek of a beloved when she scatters
On it the dealer's hand, pearls of sweat.

4. As if what whitened on it in its freshness
Were stars strewn on the redness of the horizon.
