I went out at the east gate, | |
Where the girls were in clouds. | |
Although they are like clouds, | |
It is not on them that my thoughts rest. | |
She in the thin white silk, and the grey coiffure, -- | |
She is my joy! | |
I went out by the tower on the covering wall, | |
Where the girls were like flowering rushes. | |
Although they are like flowering rushes, | |
It is not of them that I think. | |
She in the thin white silk, and the madder-[dyed coiffure], -- | |
It is she that makes me happy! |
