1. I knew the abode of the living and the settled
As the palm traced the much referenced book

2. The knowledge of remnants for a smile that became
Its knowledge a barren expanse from the living a stain

3. The knowledge for a cheek I said "Be beautiful to us"
For you have chosen with love in its entirety

4. So she said "Wake up, we have no need of you"
While you were from us with comfort escorted

5. So I said "If I were consoled from you
I would have lessened the dawn beseeching"

6. So she said "To all people you have become a flatterer
Your tongue so that you may deceive and beguile"
