Sol 5.6

  1. Indeed, I had hoped that, with the down upon his cheek, I might forget him;

    but behold—it was itself the clearest of excuses.

  2. And between his brow and the down upon his cheek I saw

    the sunlight and the splendor of moons.

  3. O young gazelle, before my passion for him I never knew

    that death could rank among the greatest of desires.

  4. One sign that your mouth is its blossom is

    the breeze’s fragrance upon it in the hours before dawn.
