Sleep came visiting the beloved’s eyelid, though it had shunned
Slumber visited the beloved's eyelid, yet had forsaken
my eye—so sleeplessness clung to it.
My eye, so sleeplessness clung to it because of that.

So I asked Sleep, “Why visit his, yet shun mine?”
So I asked it, 'Why did you visit his eyelid and forsake my eye?'
It answered me, “Indeed, the sick are visited.”
So it answered me, 'Indeed, the sick are visited.'
