MARK AND PERPETUA
Sing we the beauty of life,
7
Thrilling the vigorous body!
7
Supreme glory of earth!
6
Joy of the senses, mouth
6
Of woman to quench man's thirst,
7
Bosom erect and soft
6
Made for his eyes and touch,
8
Voice cool like a stream
7
Refreshing his arid soul!
7
Song of the nightingale
7
In the willows by the brook,
6
Roses, roses and jasmine
8
Woven in flowing hair!
6
Then... sea, and ruddy shore,
6
Meadows, woods, mountains,
5
Stars above them all...
6
These exist for the sake
8
Of man and woman made one.
9
Nature were deaf and blind
8
Bereft of human desire;
8
Mute, chaotic, dead,
5
Apart from two youthful lovers.
8
Oh ecstasy of the senses!
7
Oh body, temple of Beauty!
