Deprave me the spotlight,
If you want me to shine,
If you want me to live,
Avoid the attention you could ever give,
For I grow in dim light,
In the darkest hours,
I bloom like Night-Blooming Cereus,
In the elusive nights,
In a wondrous oddity,
With spellbinding aroma,
I’m like the Queen of the night,
Only to fluorescence,
Once in the full moon,
Of the magnificent summer nights.
