1. A night whose stars knit my eyes closed
On the pillow, and steeds of revelry galloping in the dunes.

2. We slept chained by a melody ringing in our ears
Like a garden watered with the darkness and aloe sap.

3. A narcissus burst out laughing at the old age of time.
No blossom more radiant greeting you with delight,

4. And between us a meadow of jasmine spreading,
Preferring musk when it turns from gold away.
