The palmwine tapster comes with gourds of inebriation
He summons jugs of whimsies and supplications
And the town comes but the poets are drunk
So I advised the poets to sit with me and recite a song
For Bacchus and muse and our devastation
But a female songstress ventured beyond the rest
With a song that drew tears from the restrained and the smashed
held the palmfronds of the lofty heights
I cannot recall when a lady graced my bed
Waiting at the wine post of the tapster
I wait for the lady who called in my dreams
