1. Behold the old women’s singer as she sang
And the black lions with their roaring cries
١. انظُر مُغنّيةَ العَجائِز إِذ شدَت
والأسوَدَ الجاثِي بصَوتِه يَزعَقُ
2. As though it were, and as though they in response to her
A house gone to ruin where ravens croak and caw
٢. فكأنها وكأنَّه بإزائِهَا
دارٌ عفَت فيها غُرابٌ ينعَقُ
