O chattering Camha… O blooming garden, Lift the world’s weight—do not harden. Sprinkle snowflakes upon our wound, O wondrous embroidery… O eyes deepened. O lips, whose blooming is yet unknown, A question lingering, never shown… You came, my summer, in a symphony Of swallows soaring, scents full-grown. O veil of lace, draped over wealth, Be dazed—for wonder is health. Isn’t there a shaded corner for me, Among almond trees and sandalwood’s breath? O Camha… I was a blazing fire, That in a moment, turned into a stream. Cushions of apples, raised before me— How could I not lean in and dream? The black lily, longing, whispers low: "Feast on our petals, let passion grow." A piece of lace—my vessel it became, If the dew departs, so shall my name. Row me across a moon so dim, A planet lost—a world grown grim. O sail of goodness, do not shy, Silken cocoons need not deny. Venture forth! The eastern wind calls, What are we if not dreamers enthralled? Beneath the shadow of a shadow’s grace, A thousand dawns in waiting fall. O wonder of wonders, O Camha bright, O velvet praying on velvet light

How Much Lace
O chattering Camha… O blooming garden, Lift the world’s weight—do not harden. Sprinkle snowflakes upon our wound, O wondrous embroidery… O eyes deepened. O lips, whose blooming is yet unknown, A question lingering, never shown… You came, my summer, in a symphony Of swallows soaring, scents full-grown. O veil of lace, draped over wealth, Be dazed—for wonder is health. Isn’t there a shaded corner for me, Among almond trees and sandalwood’s breath? O Camha… I was a blazing fire, That in a moment, turned into a stream. Cushions of apples, raised before me— How could I not lean in and dream? The black lily, longing, whispers low: "Feast on our petals, let passion grow." A piece of lace—my vessel it became, If the dew departs, so shall my name. Row me across a moon so dim, A planet lost—a world grown grim. O sail of goodness, do not shy, Silken cocoons need not deny. Venture forth! The eastern wind calls, What are we if not dreamers enthralled? Beneath the shadow of a shadow’s grace, A thousand dawns in waiting fall. O wonder of wonders, O Camha bright, O velvet praying on velvet light
