What fields are as fragrant as your hands? <br />You feel how external fragrance stands <br />upon your stronger resistance. <br />Stars stand in images above. <br />Give me your mouth to soften, love; <br />ah, your hair is all in idleness. <br /> <br />See, I want to surround you with yourself <br />and the faded expectation lift <br />from the edges of your eyebrows; <br />I want, as with inner eyelids sheer, <br />to close for you all places which appear <br />by my tender caresses now. <br /> <br /> <br />Translated by John J.L.
