How beautiful the sun was when it drew near to setting!
How beautiful is the sun when it nears setting,
And around it the crimson twilight, like the ‘anam plant.
And around it the crimson dusk like grapes,

A mighty shield—a circle of diamond—
A mighty shield of diamond, round,
Cast down, swimming and floating upon a sea of blood.
Floating upon and buoyant over a sea of blood.
Sol 6.1
