Shoshana Sleeping

Sleep, the time's not yet
 Early birds soon crowing
 Wake when dawn declares
 Woman risen from childish airs
 I watch, across the room
 Dancing shadow, torch outside
 Lights path down cobbled lane
 Which I have walked, will walk again
 ♪
 Sweet field lily, sweet Shoshana
 Names to conjure fragrant danger
 Fingers tremble, trace the line
 From nape to sacrum down the spine
 Poisoned prize a trophy
 Freely taken, hardly won
 A minute, holds back hours
 Bud emboldened, forest flowers
 Moist under my hand
 She sleeps, breath comes quickly
 A sigh parts silky lips
 Soft-swell breasts, proud golden tips
 ♪
 Sweet field lily, sweet Shoshana
 Names to conjure fragrant danger
 My fingers tremble, trace the line
 From nape to sacrum down the spine
 ♪
 Sweet sadness fills my heart
 Offered chances best not taken
 Unsullied, no vain glory
 Chapter, verse, another story
 Brushed eyelids gently closed
 Beauty framed in dawn light
 Savoured moment blessed
 A kiss, farewell and leave to rest
 ♪
 Sweet field lily, sweet Shoshana
 Names to conjure fragrant danger
 Fingers tremble, trace the line
 From nape to sacrum down the spine
