     Said Achan; the swift…footed runner of Zorah;
     ‘‘They look at the wood they have hewn for the altar;
     And think of a shadow in sackcloth and ashes。


     ‘‘I know how it is with the daughter of Jephthah;
     (O Ada; my love; and the fairest of women!)
     She wails in the time when her heart is so zealous
     For God who hath stricken the children of Ammon。


     ‘‘I said I would bring her the odours of Edom;
     And armfuls of spices to set at the banquet!
     Behold I have fronted the chieftain her father;
     And strong men have wept for the leader of thousands!

     ‘‘My love is a rose of the roses of Sharon;
     All lonely and bright as the Moon in the myrtles!
     Her lips; like to honeycombs; fill with the sweetness
     That Achan the thirsty is hindered from drinking。


     ‘‘Her women have wept for the love that is wasted
     Like wine; which is spilt when the people are wanting;
     And hot winds have dried all the cisterns of Elim!
     For love that is wasted her women were wailing!


     ‘‘The timbrels fall silent! And dost thou not hear it;
     A voice; like the sound of a lute when we loiter;
     And sit by the pools in the valleys of Arnon;
     And suck the cool grapes that are growing in clusters?


     ‘‘She glides; like a myrrh…scented wind; through the willows;
     O Ada! behold it is Achan that speaketh:
     I know thou art near me; but never can see thee;
     Because of the horrible drouth in mine eyelids。''
