I could give you - Oh such gifts

But you never ask.

Dreams of a marble palace

Near a clear blue sea -

Rose leaves in a green jade jar

Withering fragrantly -

Sunlight across an old still garden -

Rain beating on a silver pool -

Blue curls of smoke against the sky -

Songs in the moonlight - love -

A wood-nymphs faint far cry -

Such gifts, such gifts, as I could give

But, dear you never ask.
