PEARL NECKLACE
I shall travel to Hyderabad, And there select the very best of pearls for
you.
The stars have already wrought anklets to adore your feet.
I plan to use the power of my tears To knot a strand of special luster to lay
about your neck.
Wealth and fame will come from you; These are things that Destiny has ordained.
Yet this my sorrow remains absolutely my own.
Behold the luminosity of the nacre, and appraise How the space tied between each of the jewels
conspires, Enhances the subtlety of the array now falling
upon your ***.
Touch with your fingers the magic of the spherical splendor.
Walk to the mirror, look upon yourself -- what value,
What elegance yours at the expense of my misery!
I call upon you. Turn your heart about. Hurry home! Hurry back to my lips,
And let me hold you in my arms again.
