Edgen's Daughter

A half-witted I was to sleep at spring time 
In walnut tree; when wind was sweet and cool.
In asleep My lily hands have been tied 
And was made to drink an unsweetened fruit. 

A half-witted I'm, some savage; entered my hortus.
And stealth my chameli; when 
I was in asleep.
Mouth sealed off; a hesitant to fight back.
This a melancholy; that struck me deep.

No more smile; no more time to play with Moon
A half-witted, I was to sleep at spring-
Tide, now scary-scary; 
I set alone 
Recalling the days of chameli; at evening--
