Sol 6.1

  1. My heart longs for Malikah—if only

    she were near at evening to whoever seeks her.

  2. How lovely Malkah’s neck, and the

    hollows of her throat, adorned by her collarbones!

  3. Oh, if only I had one night, when asleep lay the peo-

    ple, and their owner sought out the dogs,

  4. a night in which we see no one

    to tell on us except its stars.
