Chords Ramadan lope 1Gabriel's delight,

Nostalgic sitar, Nature, Sufi charms;

Where nomads' fields spire myrrh, dazed Yemen fright,

Exotic incense -- nature's sense--bare arms...

Revive...as Renaissance, Petrarchan mind!

Aladdin's lustrous crossing nimbus, greet;

Roll Eastern shawms...balm Marco Polo kind...

Fear Ides of March, Olivier's far fleet?

True helms, tales Durendana, Vestal Queen,

graced nimbus, Fairy Queen...alights Grand Right

Arabian Nights fair Ramadan yet born

of Byzantine arched domes, Pluto's Hellene;

Who crossed Crusaders' dark coronal Light?

What stirred 2King John? ...All Renaissance must mourn!
