Sol 5.6

  1. Spring unveiled before us

    nubile maidens, untouched,

  2. crowned with carnelian,

    braceleted with daylight.

  3. You see them clothed in ro—

    —ses, in mantles and veils.

  4. It bestowed upon us jewels

    that bewilder the eyes.

  5. O beauty of reds and yellows

    that show you embers and flame!

  6. That one delights in its redness,

    and that one startles in its yellowness.

  7. You would think this carnelian,

    and that pure gold;

  8. that one harvested honey,

    and that one aged wine.

  9. If it would remain unharmed,

    I would string it into a short necklace.
