The poem is a powerful statement about the need for maintaining the purity of nature and not to disturb the ecology of this planet. The imagery is profound with an extremely delicate treatment of the subject. Thank you, Abdullah, for such a fine translation. I quote:
A mermaid..... sang to him, she spoke to him: / ‘Why do you lure my children / With human art and cunning, / Up to their warm extinction?
