So I took her to the river	A
believing she was a maiden	B
but she already had a husband	C
It was on St James night	D
and almost as if I was obliged to	E
The lanterns went out	F
and the crickets lighted up	G
In the farthest street corners	H
I touched her sleeping breasts	I
and they opened to me suddenly	J
like spikes of hyacinth	K
The starch of her petticoat	L
sounded in my ears	M
like a piece of silk	N
rent by ten knives	O
Without silver light on their foliage	P
the trees had grown larger	A
and a horizon of dogs	Q
barked very far from the river	A
	-
Past the blackberries	R
the reeds and the hawthorne	S
underneath her cluster of hair	T
I made a hollow in the earth	U
I took off my tie	V
she too off her dress	W
I my belt with the revolver	A
She her four bodices	X
Nor nard nor mother o pearl	Y
have skin so fine	Z
nor does glass with silver	A
shine with such brilliance	A2
Her thighs slipped away from me	J
like startled fish	B2
half full of fire	A
half full of cold	C2
That night I ran	D2
on the best of roads	E2
mounted on a nacre mare	T
without bridle stirrups	F2
	-
As a man I won t repeat	G2
the things she said to me	J
The light of understanding	H2
has made me more discreet	G2
Smeared with sand and kisses	I2
I took her away from the river	A
The swords of the lilies	R
battled with the air	T
	-
I behaved like what I am	J2
like a proper gypsy	J
I gave her a large sewing basket	K2
of straw colored satin	B
but I did not fall in love	L2
for although she had a husband	C
she told me she was a maiden	B
when I took her to the river	A
