With twisted coils of matted hair,

The reverend men are bathing there,

And as they lift their arms on high

The Lord of Day they glorify:

These best of saints, my large-eyed spouse,

Are constant to their sacred vows.

The mountain dances while the trees

Bend their proud summits to the breeze,

And scatter many a flower and bud

From branches that o'erhang the flood.
