I had been in a huff;

Setting bolt upon the home,

Inside a tiny nook I'd bode.

Storm after storm has come;

Blow after blow has been endured.

Yet all night long, without sleep You'd gone,

In concert with the tune.

The rain's come down in torrents;

Gust after gust of wind's been felt.

Yet all night long, without sleep You'd gone,

In sweet love's attraction.

On a night of storm You had come

Into the tuberose grove.

I had been inattentive;

Setting bolt upon the home...

A tuberose knows.
