    I heed your call, eager to meet you in celebration.

  3. You revealed longing by speaking of longing,

    while embers glow from the wicks.

  4. So travel as you wish and desire,

    from one welcome opportunity to another,

    over gentle ground without dampness.

  7. At the horizon, a breeze stirs for him,

    with pearls from its enchanting, lawful art.
