I dreamt of
Signature of light,
In the book of the night.

A red - flowered creeper
Exhales fragrance
On the barbed wire!

At the far end of the night,
The dawn smiles
At the last star.

Someone sings at a distance,
In the ocean of the night
The moon sinks.

The moon stared hiding itself,
The night was sitting
Nude in the balcony

In the fields of saffron,
The laboring women
How pale and consumptive look.

The milky heat of the moon,
The frozen sky melts
Despair poured, drop-by-drop.

On the sand of the shore,
Basking in the sun
There are dreamy and drowsy belles.

Dusk, chill, air of November
Wrapped in shawl of yellow leaves,
Trees shiver with cold.

The night all bared,
And from behind the curtains
Of, the coconut trees, the moon peeping.
