whom you learned them from
to sing them and to weep along
my heart my flowering bloomYour tiny mirror is too old
and your mind lost and gone
where did you drink which drinking hole
and drunk you left aloneYour tiny mirror is too old
and behind that fogginess
our Smyrna and our Kordelio
and Greece of grand old timesThe old glass hazy and filthy
yet behind its cloudy smokes
God glances down at Ayvali
and his mind respites and blows
