Are shadowed by gently waving palm fronds

To behold such an exquisite delight

Can make the best instrumental pieces seem stale

Clearing anger from the mind

The melodies are irreplicable as you will soon find


A fruity mango scent swirls through the ether

Mingling with wafting cinnamon and fresh plucked heather

From the heather fields yonder

Where no lion nor tiger dares wander


* Pronounced bless-ed not bless-d
