Arabesque
It is very peaceful here
With the white clouds drifting
And the palm trees lifting
Graceful arms to fan the air.
How lovely is the green when seen
With the blue between as the branches lean.
How lovely is the rose that grows
By the stream which flows where the soft wind blows,
It is very peaceful here
With the tall grass shaking
And the pond flies making
Silver wing-play everywhere.
You came and all the sky was flushed,
The day and my heart grew full as you came.
The roses shed their dew and blushed,
As the winds of a new awaking rushed
Through their petals and breathed your name.
