Text

Flowers, peerless by compare, Are deeds of Nyvein, like fairGems coating the diadem:
The Gloriosa lily,Red as pomegranate wine,Flashes splendor, a cut ruby;Her words are as divineAs these, a fire in the airBy passion lit to lay bareThe unrighteous, and condemn.
Beloved Daphne, winterBloom, subtly swirls pink and white,Aroma sweet as packed myrrh;Nyvein’s service is such light,An uplifting warmth of care.Should darkness or cold ensnare,Her sunrise arrives to stem it.
Lilies of the Nile, sapphiresWhich spark in all direction,Like when lightning strikes the spireSignalling inspiration --These too Nyvein shall wearIn her wreath, for everywhereShe heartens others, stirs them.
Can sunlight hide from the eye?Can choice perfume be concealed? Can blossoms choose to be shy,And bury their color in the field? Neither can Nyvein, daughterOf Rav Adam, suppress her Nature.She gives, and moves, ignites and blooms,And thus she new glory assumes;For Anton, Luned both concur:The Golden Dolphin shines in her.
