And a statue stood among the boughs; she had
A doll stood amid the branches, with
A delicate figure and hips that nearly toppled her.
A slender waist, almost too frail to bear

سَقَتهُمُ البارِدَ السَلسالَ مِن فيها
When she saw the flowers’ eyes winking,
Her burden, when she saw the flowers' eyes
She gave them cool, sweet water to drink from her mouth.
Gaze up, she watered them with cooling streams.
