I: In my room, the world is beyond my understanding; / But when I walk I see that it consists of three or four hills / and a cloud.

II: From my balcony, I survey the yellow air, / Reading where I have written, / "The spring is like a belle undressing."

III: The gold tree is blue. / The singer has pulled his cloak over his head. / The moon is in the folds of the cloak.
