- | |
We cannot know the indescribable face | B |
Where the eyes like apples ripened Even so | C |
His torso has a candelabra's glow | C |
His gaze contained as in a mirror's grace | B |
- | |
Shines within it Otherwise his breast | D |
Would not be dazzling Nor would you recognize | E |
The smile that moves along his curving thighs | E |
There where love's strength is caught within its nest | D |
- | |
This stone would not be broken but intact | F |
Beneath the shoulders' flowing cataract | F |
Nor would it glisten like a stallion's hide | G |
- | |
Brimming with radiance from every side | G |
As a star sparkles Now it is dawn once more | H |
All places scrutinize you You must be reborn | I |
