Night Jasmine: Shiuli
O shiuli, you bloom under the cover of night.
O shiuli, you listen patiently to the moon's plight.
O shiuli, you share secrets with the stars
O shiuli, you strum the strings of nature’s guitars.
O shiuli, you waft an mellifluous scent so sweet
O shiuli, you carpet the ground for lovers to meet
O shiuli, you symbolise purity and innocence
O shiuli, you stimulate my slumbering conscience
O shiuli, I tell stories to you each twilight
O shiuli, I spill my soul for you to keep bright
O shiuli, I pick your fallen petals in the morn
O shiuli, you keep my confidences in branches shorn
O shiuli, I breathe in a breath of fresh air,
O shiuli, I put your flower in my hair
O shiuli, you make my day a little better
O shiuli, you make the world a little brighter
O shiuli, come with me today
O shiuli, come home with me today.
