When the cupbearer walked in the garden.

2. The brooks clapped with joy
And the narcissus eyes awakened in rapture.

3. The flowers revealed themselves from their buds
Shedding the pearls of vivacious life.

4. The dawn cast its white mantle over them
And they bloomed between pink and crimson.

5. The breeze blew over their edges, greeting them,
Bowing their heads in humility.

6. It loved their sweet fragrance, as if its scent
Was in praise of the most noble and holy.

7. The Lord, the shepherd, in whose shade
I found God's sheep most protected.

8. He is Peter the Pope, the revered one, whose
Faith in Peter denied the stumbling of Peter.

9. A free soul cleansed and exonerated
From the failings of days that did not defile it.

10. Clad in a cassock, beneath which appears
The most splendid raiment of piety.

11. Heedlessness did not take a wink from him,
His vigilance awoke drowsy eyes.

12. This is the vessel of wisdom and righteousness,
Adorned with the radiant light of the Guardian.

13. A sea that flowed with clarity and brought us
The most precious pearl of the seas.

14. The steeds of guidance raced, his thoughts prepared,
He cast aside the misfortunes of fate.

15. The stalwart of diligence bowed his head
When hardships confronted him with bowed head.

16. He reveals the truths from behind their veils
Like the dawn dispelling the dark night.

17. When he takes the lead saying in an assembly,
You would find a priest in that assembly.

18. When he stood above the pulpits, his words
Humbled the heart of the smoothest stone.

19. His guidance you would treasure as a word
In the station of a consecrated altar.

20. Praise continues to adorn his mention
As embroidery adorns a silken robe.
