Sated with water, and ravine and watercourse brimmed.

In rapture, while cooing echoed through the branches.

Intoxicated; the east wind bends it, and it leans.

From it, and late-afternoon light gilded both its sides.

And through a cloud’s veil there gazed again
An eye, weary, made languid by drowsiness,
