i. al gran cherchio d’ombra
ii. che non la move, se non come petra
iii. il crespo giallo e ’l verde
iv. e ’l colpo suo non può sanar per erba
v. innamorata, com’anco fu donna
vi. ben ritorneranno i fiumi a’ colli
coda: la fa sparer, com’uom petra sott’erba

i. the great arc of shadow
ii. she is unmoved, no more than stone
iii. the curling yellow and green
iv. her wounds cannot be healed with herbs
v. as much in love as ever a woman
vi. surely rivers will return to the hills
coda: making one vanish, as a stone under grass
