And I am smitten with a radiant moon; I lost
A radiant moon of mine was lost to me
my piety in the dot of his musky mole.
With a mole of musky incense I would kiss

He donned darkness as a robe to grieve me,
It embraced the darkness for my sorrow’s sake
and morning as a turban to expose me.
And shone in the morn for my destruction’s sake
