THE WHITE SWAN AND UNDINE:
O the white swan! Where are you? In west, I will send undine to
Tell you about my passion for you,
Hark! You have long lashes, with brilliant eyes reflect
The sunbeams to make the earth
Shine emotionally.
My love will protect you, to be safe of storms, Let me apprise you that
Undine like you in beauty.

THE WHITE SWAN AND SYLPH:
O the white swan! Where are you?
In East, I will send sylph to
Tell you about my passion for you,
Hark! People taste honey from
Your rosy lips and wear pearls
From your teeth.
More people know your milk Is different because you are
My refulgent butter-fly,
Let me apprise you that
Sylph like butterfly in purity.

THE WHITE SWAN AND FIRE SPIRITS:
O the white swan! Where are you?
In south, I will send five spirits,
To tell you about my passion for you,
Hark! Be brilliant to glow
And become my queen to fly
Towards the sky carrying
Thousands of roses and cowslips
To give them redolent names
With opalescent letters.
Let me apprise you that
Fire spirits like Kangaroos in mobility.

THE WHITE SWAN AND GNOME:
O the white swan! Where are you?
In north, I will send gnomes to
Tell you about my passion for you,
Hark! Your sweet water I like
One touch will make me eternal,
To live together under the sun.
Your sleep is like a perky portrait
Reflecting the moon light
To make your sleep calm.
Let me apprise you that
Gnomes like angels in sanctity. © AHMAD YASIR
