Donkey or cow, cockerel or horse
On to the skin of a violin
A singing man a single bird
An agile dancer with his wife
A couple drenched in their youth
The gold of the grass lead of the sky
Separated by azure flames
Of the health-giving dew
The blood

A couple the first reflection
And in a cellar of snow
The opulent vine draws
A face with lunar lips
That never slept at night.

Behold the silvery river, in it the splashing horses
loitering

Behold the brown-faced men, each group, each person a picture, the
