The Shimmer of the Oud Melody [SSC6 Poetry Challenge]

[Studio Quality] [Instrumental Intro : Oud Melody] [Harmony] Oooooooo... Yeaaaaaa... Mmmmmmmm... Ooo... yea... [Verse Mixed with Harmony] In the long shimmer of the Sound May I some day be laughing found, Part of its restless to and fro, A humble worker of the tides That round the sleepless planet flow, And in the rock and drift of things - [Chorus][Harmony] (O how the sea-weed sways and swings! Is it her hair - has she been found In the long shimmer of the Sound!) [Instrumental: Qanun Melody] [Harmony] Ooooooo... The Shimmer of the Sound! Yeaaaaaa... The Oud Melody! Mmmmm... Ooo... yea... The Shimmer of the Oud Melody! [Verse Mixed with Harmony] Do some small task I do not know - O maybe help the mussel grow, Or tint the shell-imprisoned pearl - A mute companion of the waves That toss within their moonlit graves - Is it a king, or but a girl? [Chorus][Harmony] (O how the sea-weed sways and swings! Is it her hair - has she been found In the long shimmer of the Sound!) [Instrumental: Griot Harmony] [Harmony] Ooooooo... The Shimmer of the Sound! Yeaaaaaa... The Oud Melody! Mmmmm... Ooo... yea... The Shimmer of the Oud Melody! [Bridge][Intensify][Harmony] And, all the while, she sings and sings, And waves her wild white hands with glee, Mysterious sister of the world, That singing water called the sea. [Final Chorus][Harmony] (O tell me was this sea-weed found In the long shimmer of the Sound!) (O how the sea-weed sways and swings! Is it her hair - has she been found In the long shimmer of the Sound!) [Harmony] Ooooooo... The Shimmer of the Sound! Yeaaaaaa... The Oud Melody! Mmmmm... Ooo... yea... The Shimmer of the Oud Melody! [Instrumental Outro: Ney Melody]
