Once I met a maid near cafe 'n bar 
gambit on chess board to meet 
her master played checkers game 
cross and zero cross and zero tranquil 
    Aloof she met me as a dumb 
    orchestra played there in drum 
    she trampled in cadence and sweet 
    will my heart came to mouth in zeal 
Her fancy and glory and fragrance 
remember me my psyche in brain 
my sleepy imagery showers in Hippocrene she danced slowly as drizzling to rain  
  In my sorrow, joy and penance 
  my correlation revived in pain 
  her bosom springed to my chest in 
  fancy her drowsy face paused in airy 
  fun  
My drizzling vocal pitch paused 
my stretched hands moved up and down I dared not say you beauty my 
paramour revived in foreign land
