A Chorus of a Waiting Maiden

MAN O' MAN, kiss thy maiden for the 
night
Seek compassion on thy beloveth lass;
Years did trespass whilst you tarry in 
flight,
Time did seize each moment a night 
do pass.

On cedar trees I sit and wait by dawn,
In await due for thy home-ward 
drawn.

Furlongs away from my succulent thigh
Distance away from my tender warmth 
frame,
My heart in fright b'neath my breast: 
Fear is nigh,
Pulsation rise 'long; I whisper thy 
name.

I whisper from the tallest tree in sight
I whisper; no reply to my worn plight.

Many a time thy name I utter low
Christening thy name; stir my voice 
round wind,
Hamm'ring thy name the wind did aid 
a blow
Sublime to rend t'wards you my heart 
and mind.

Sing on my muse, my cymbal and my 
lute,
Sing to my lover; he hearkens in mute.
