1. The washingtonians have departed from us
Thanks be to God for the camels

2. So we were blessed with a union
While the tents were heedless of it

3. Those secrets which were hidden
Came out now that they're bidden

4. And we were relieved of the chiding
In the tents and the nooks residing

5. And messages came from loved ones
Bearing gifts while hither homing

6. Despite what enemies were chiding
Our affairs now concluded, aye thing!

7. With the union of a beloved one
Whose gifts made prison staying

8. And wine from pressed grapes
And talk from veiled shapes

9. What happened has happened but yet
Lingers after in the heart and head

10. They said you're too old for young days
And have left behind those places
