Resident mockery give us an hour for magic
We of the purple glove
We of the starling flight and velvet hour
We of Arabic pleasure's breed
We of sundome and the night

Give us creed to believe a nights of lust
Give us trust in the night
Give of color, hundred hues, a rich mandala for me and for you
And for your silky pillowed house, a head, wisdom
And a bed
Troubled decree, resident mockery has claimed thee

We used to believe in the good old days
We still receive in little ways
The things of kindness and unsporting brow
Forget and allow
