She’s in her beauty tonight– and how lovely–
luminous, riding high, dressed in her best yellow gown,
playing the part of doting girlfriend–
peeking down shyly from behind a veil of cloud!
But, oh, the bitch– she’s betrayed us again
– last night she was with the sun!
When we weren’t looking she crept into his room–
this morning just after dawn– I caught her leaving his side!
