Blest and Fabled
OH! Phoenix, teach me your ways and means
How to reproduce oneself unlike beings
You! The resident of an oak or Palm tree
Living up to a life of hundred years free.
OH! Darling of Assyrians, teach me your ways and means
Ye! the depositor of the temple of the sun
How to lift my own cradle and parent’s sepulcher
And carrying it to the city of Heliopolis in Egypt
Oh! The Sun worshiper, teach me your ways and means
Ye, the consumer of frankincense and odoriferous gums
without eating apple or flowers not to remain numb
And how to come to life from my own ashes.
