The Hanging Gardens

Follow me down, down to a place
Where snap dragons pout, among marigold lakes
Gathering wood through a thicket of sap
Elm, Beech, Sycamore, and Ash
Avoiding deciduous leaves
Water clear, lotus green
Its all for you, my darling queen
Follow me down walkways of scent
Blooms of azalea, the lily’s lament
Twilight in breeze, nightingale sing
A song for my sweet, a gift from your king
Don’t forget forget-me-not
Sky of blue, garden serene
Its all for you my darling queen
Look!
They’re building a tower up to the heavens
I, Nebuchadnezzar brought heaven to Babylon
Follow me down, what do you see
I dreamt it for you, my darling queen
