That paddles in a2)halcyon sea.
My heart is gladder than all these
Because my love is come to me.
Raise me a 3)dais of silk and down.

生日
我的心像只鸣啼的小鸟
在柔润的枝条上筑着巢;
我的心像棵苹果树
累累的硕果压弯了腰;
我的心像个虹彩的贝壳
在平静的海上轻轻荡漾;
我的心比这些还更欢畅
因为我的爱情已经来到。
为我造一座丝绒的讲坛
用金色和紫色颜料涂染;
在上面雕刻鸽子和石榴
还有孔雀长着一百只眼;
再用金银葡萄把它妆扮
树叶和鹫尾草银光闪闪;
因为我的生日已经来临,
因为我的爱情已经来到。
