The rosebushes in the garden resembled—when
The rose bushes in the garden told at dawn
rain’s smiling mouth began to kiss their cheeks—
Of raindrops kissing their cheeks.

cupbearers at a gathering place, displaying in their palms
The water-bearers of a tavern brought out
cups of pure gold already studded with pearls.
In their palms cups of dew studded with pearls.
