1. It takes courage to meet desire face on
And how can you expect time to be just, so you adapt?

2. My well-versed poets have a required ode
That is sometimes ornate and often cuts to the heart

3. And a cloud has risen between cups
Of quarrel, though it will not likely rain

4. The tent is perfumed with rose-water
Like a bridal gown embroidered and pleated

5. And the day I spend with it is a wonderfully strange day
If you visit me, you'll be blessed by this strangest of strange days
