SYRIAN LOVE SONG

BY Barada the citron now Displays its cloud of bloom; By Barada the almond bough Is like a lovely loom; And with a tide of gold unrolled The meadows sweep and swell; By Barada, by Barada, Behold the asphodel!
By Barada pomegranate fires With hues of sunset vie; By Barada the lilt of lyres Upon the wind goes by; And in the vale the nightingale Lifts its immortal tune, By Barada, by Barada, Beneath the sun and moon!
By Barada from crest to crest Red gleams the cinnabar; By Barada on night's blue breast Warm glows the passion-star; Afar the teeming strife of life, A flood forgotten, flows; By Barada, by Barada, Flowers love's eternal rose!
