With green leaves dressed, the trees each other's hands take;

The flowers and nightingales each other's robes shake.

Like pigeon, there, before the gale that soft blows,

Doth turn in many a somersault the young rose.

As blaze up with gay flowerlets all the red plains,

The wind each passes, and the vineyard next gains.

The clouds, pearl-raining, from the meteors sparks seize;

And flowers are all around strewn by the dawn-breeze.

The waters, eddying, in circles bright play,

Like shining swords the green leaves toss about they.
