| | | Calmly, like a soul at rest. | 1 |
Countless as the golden motes
That dance upon the sun’s earth-kissing beams. | 2 |
| Eyes like two streams of liquid light. | 3 |
| Eyes like the dawn of day. | 4 |
Fleet,
As silver-sandalled Artemis. | 5 |
| Rosy flushes, like warm dreams of love. | 6 |
| Gleaming like rose-hued pearls below the wave. | 7 |
| Gleam like pale wells of precious malachite. | 8 |
| Shone like a friendly twinkling star. | 9 |
Shining as the Alps, when that the sun
Gems their pale robes with diamonds. | 10 |
| Sparkling like diamond rocks in the sun’s rays. | 11 |
Untwisted the fond links that bound us,
Like frost wreaths, that melt in the morning’s first beam. | 12 |
| Wondrous as a dream. | 13 | | |
