★ MARSINAH, POET, CALIPH & WAZIR ★ Dawn's promising skies (You'd say his eyes were?) (Sometime bright) Petals on a pool drifting (But only sometime?) (Often dark) Imagine these in one pair of eyes (Not very clear!) (Mere words cannot convey!) And this is my beloved! (Then try another way) (Strange spice from the south) (You'd say his smile was...?) Sometime gay (Honey through a comb sifting) (But only sometime?) Often sad (Imagine these on one eager mouth) (Sad smiles are strange!) He can be very strange (This takes imagining!) (And this is my beloved!) (So?) I hope he'll never change! (And when she speaks?) (Ah!) (And when he talks to you?) Ah! (Music!) (Music!) Mystery! (Mystery?) (And when she moves?) (And when he walks with you?)
Paradise comes suddenly near! (Paradise comes suddenly near!) (It's clear, it's love!) (I fear this love) All that can stir (All that can stir) (I'll find your love!) (All Highest One) All that can stun (All that can stun) (I promise you I will!) (I offer so much more!) All that's for the heart's lifting (All that's for the hear's lifting) (Those eyes should never cry!) (Hopeless!) Imagine these (Imagine these) (For every man) In one perfect one (In one perfect one) (With all my heart I'll try!) (There's more than one! We'll wait!)

Dawn's promising skies Petals on a pool drifting Imagine these in one pair of eyes And this is my beloved Strange spice from the south Honey through the comb sifting And when he speaks And when he talks to me
Music! Mystery! And when he moves And when he walks with me Paradise comes suddenly near
All that can stir All that can stun All that's for the heart's lifting Imagine these in one perfect one And this is my beloved! And this is my beloved!
