AWAKEN DEAD HEART

Let my seat be lessen with thy presence

Let my heart sink deep in River Niger

Let me be hidden behind thine shadow

Even thy shadow brim that of beauty

 

Allow me to behold thy beauty

Let your beauty shreweth me thy pity

For I’m tame in thy presence

Show to me thy kind heart

 

Let the audience be my witness

For I behold the chain that did last

Allow thy beauty to show me its kindness

Lest my mortal heart will depart

 

My dead heart has been awaken with thy beauty

Allow me sleep not without beholding thy beauty

For my cherishes now overshadow the wickedness

Lend me thy merciful heart

And our heart shall be the subject of the garrulous in this planet earth.
