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 sun dome and the night
Give us a creed to believe a night 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
