I.
Your love has penetrated all within me
Like honey plunged into water,
Like an odor which penetrates spices,
As when one mixes juice in ''uncertain''
Nevertheless you run to seek your sister,
Like the steed upon the battlefield,
As the warrior rolls along on the spokes of his wheels.
II.
Disturbed is the condition of my pool.
The mouth of my sister is a rosebud.
Her breast is a perfume.
Her arm is a ''uncertain'' bough
Which offers a delusive seat.
Her forehead is a snare of meryu-wood.
III.
Is my heart not softened by your love-longing for me?
2
My dogfoot[1] which excites your passions
Not will I allow it
To depart from me.
IV.
The voice of the wild goose cries,
Where she has seized their bait,
But your love holds me back,
I am unable to liberate her.
V.
The wild goose flies up and soars,
3
She sinks down upon the net.
VI.
Thou beautiful one! My heart's desire is
To procure for you your food as your husband,
My arm resting upon your arm.
VII.
The voice of the dove calls,
It says: "The earth is bright."
What have I to do outside?
4
Stop, thou birdling! You chide me!
VIII.
Sa'am plants are in it,
In the presence of which one feels oneself uplifted!
IX.
Ta-'a-ti-plants are in it!
I take your garlands away,
When you come home drunk,
And when you are lying in your bed
