LYRIC by AL-BARRAQ

First Line: LO, AS THE THRUSHES' THROATS
Last Line: BEING SO CLOSE TO THEE.

Lo, as the thrushes' throats
Throb with their golden notes
The river's silver dress
Shakes in the wind's caress.

The gently cooing dove
(Dost thou not hear, my love?)
Is stirred to ecstasy,
Being so close to thee.
