And an inkwell of finest brass,
And an inkwell of the finest brass,
Inlaid with silver, though itself like uncoined gold;
Inlaid with silver, while itself like gold,

Clothed in the sun’s yellow hue,
Clothed in the sun’s yellow hue,
Just as it was embroidered with a thread of dawn.
As though embroidered with a thread of dawn.
