1. For love of you has brought me to lands hateful

    to me, and to a ruddy, hairless Roman in Amman.

  2. And if I had two souls—if there came, advancing,

    upon one of them, before I reached you, blood-red death,

  3. I would live through the other after it, once it had completed

    its span; perhaps my soul through it would be granted long life.

  4. Then our riding camels would surely race across the wilderness,

    toward you, carrying us, striding with a vigorous gait.

Sol 6.1
