Thy biddings, as if blind,
Of death-inducing kind,
Nought shows to us
ephemeral

But moments in Thy mind.

Bearing the fire of Heaven's menaces,

Reeds of breeze, smiles perfumed,
Wings covering the world of light,
Boats charged with sky and sea,

As the day depends on innocence
The whole world depends on your pure eyes
And all my blood flows under their sight.
