The Veiled Garden
"Come into my garden my love and
Taste its choice fruits; delicacy of refine.
Consume the harvest of years gone by
And drink the new wine laid before you
Let us feast under loves arbour;
Rest your hand in the cool of the
Stream and refresh! Gently caress.
Come, take this flower of rose lips
And tenderly kiss, and tenderly kiss.
"Who can resist your beauty, your ardour?
Certainly not I. Who can refuse your
Invitation into Eden's garden with its
Choice fruits? Certainly not I. Such is the
Bouquet of your love my breath is but
A whisper of faint heart in surrender,
Tis but a whisper of faint heart in surrender!"
"Come then my love, enter my garden;
Taste its choice fruits and drink new wine.
Let us lose ourselves in love's nectar so
Sweet until sun's dawning awakens us
From deep slumber where heaven became us.
