The Turkish gazelle sought a rose.
The deer sought a rose from the abandoned campsite
I said, “Desist—may your foe be thwarted!”
I said: Your quest is in vain against your wishes

The rose is surely with you.
Surely with you is the rose
He said, “A crimson one.” I said, “Your cheek.”
He said "my cheek," I said "your cheek"
