She rose to bid us farewell, her eye streaming;
Its pupil lined, as with kohl, with fine beads of tears.

Then it circled round the edges of its courtyard,
Until its unchecked tears came rushing from it.

As though, when both eye-corners pressed it forth,
It were pearls cascading, their string snapped.
