And I saw a bitter orange among the gardens,
An orange between gardens I saw
On a fresh bough, like the stature of a graceful youth.
On a wet branch, like the figure of a young gazelle

When the wind tilted it, it swayed with a ball
When the wind inclined it, it swayed gently
That appeared as gold in a scepter of emerald.
Appearing like gold in an emerald brooch
