Songstress of the valley, who hath ears rapt in pleasure Thou art the beatitude that brings real joy The music of thy lute is suffice to inspire peace and leisure Consists in it a pleasure sweet and coy Beyond the strictures and dictums of reason consists a freedom To dwell deep in the dreams of an unchartered mind Admitted in to passions kingdom Educated in Love, activity refined My sad ears dote on each gay note That swell and rise in supersession A melody that a troubador wrote Plucked from the depths of meditation Songstress of the valley, I honour you Blessed fires run through you
