Oh my love

Oh the delight of my eyes

Would you not sleep my love?

Are you the peacock or the plumage of the peacock?

Are you the cuckoo or the cry of the cuckoo?

Are you the moon or the light of the moon?

Are you the eyelashes, or the dream?

Are you the flower or the nectar?

Are you the fruit or the sweetness?
