Tree of rich fruits, full blossom
roots stretch for drinking rivers
sucking water for nectar
soft ambrosial twigs
Blazing at full strength its flames
solar flare its inferno
brightness of royal glory
dangerous to approach, holy
Voice of wind in its branches
voice of strength in flaming boughs
breath of heat and life and light
breath of angelic singing
Tree of life, eternal fruits
voice beckoning flames threaten
wind sends forth draws close to flame
Moshe to challenge Pharaoh.
