I found, Anita, that there appeared, stirring me,
I found "Anita" shining, shaking me
a vision of your face, wondrous in its features.
A ghost of your face, sublime features

Radiant of brow—I almost stroke its surface
"Forehead" I almost wipe its surface!
with my mouth, and inhale its perfume with my own fragrance.
With my mouth, and its scent splits my senses

And luminous-lipped—a small opening almost
And the "lips" lit, a gap almost

Clopped by my sorrows

And where I was, there fell away from my side
And where you were, fell from my side
glances from those wary of my glances.
Glances of the watchful from my glances!

Prey to the eyes, stirring them and making them stray,
Eyes' rape excites and distracts her
is a disheveled man's bowed head, his glances roving,
Bowing disheveled, squinting flirtations

Scattered hips overseeing incoming!

One cheek and the other tilted to the paths

It is misery and worship enough for me—and for you—
Enough. And enough for you are coquetry! And worship!
that the cup of my life never empties of you.
That a cup does not drain from you! My life
