My embroiderer crafted me with exquisite care,
My creator adorned me with his skill
and fashioned me as the world's delight.
And portrayed me as the garden of the world

He brought me forth green and garden-like,
He brought me as a green, flowery meadow
yet no garden is forever green.
But meadows do not stay green forever

despite its eye's profusely streaming tears.
Over his copiously flowing tears
