1. And a radiant, gleaming thing delights our eyes

    Whenever we cast upon it the gaze of watching eyes.

  2. It has four legs that refuse night travel, yet

    They shake hands with the earth's face, like hooves.

  3. It bears bodies, some of them rose-red,

    And the rest the color of the darkest nights.

  4. We keep it company on days when the cold holds sway,

    And forsake it on days of scorching midday heat.

  5. We strung cups of wine along its sides,

    As stars around a revolving axis of revelry,

  6. Rising above the palms, in pairs and singly,

    Setting between the uvulas and throats.

Sol 6.1
