T'was like the rosiest fancies
And the best all among
Cos' its the apple of the eye
But another reason to do so

T'was like the monsoon spring
And the rainy days all those
It be the glowing blossoms
The only way it had to do so

T'was the glory of the nature
And yet another nightmare
Like the rising sun were
And the rebellion to do so

T'was those peculiar wings
Seemed the lady with the lamp
With the gladiators charm
Brought the day to fantasy
