The river flows through the gardens, and its robe
The river flows through the meadows, its robe
is rubbed and polished by the breeze’s hand.
Fluttering, burnished by the breeze's hand.

And the bough is awakened by the east wind and rises from
The branch is roused by dawn from drowsy sleep
the stupor of sleep, its branch hanging down.
To rise up gently waving, softly fanned.
