Oh my soul, listen : this is the hour When the moon that crosses the heavens Longs for an exquisite song, Like the song of a mournful flute as it weeps.

And in the ecstasy of the still of the night, In the heat and languor, Underneath the moonlight-silvered argentant palms, A lotus half-revealed its heart.
