Esther Dee, with flowers in her hair, is one of the beautiful singers who took to the stage of the White Hart Tavern at the Maryland Renaissance Festival in 2009. Song begins: When the desert sand blows softly to the end and the winter nights bring maidens to despair.
When the desert sand blows softly to the end And the winter nights bring maidens to despair Ahh-dee-ahh, Ahh-dee-ahh When the sky is black and moon is full and round Then you'll hear her cry and hear her soul abound Ahh-dee-ahh, Ahh-dee-ahh Desert Rose She'll come to thee Sweeter than the honey bee Lips so red you'll want to taste The deadly itch the old embrace Desert Rose She'll steal your heart Make mockery Of every part Deal your host A wish a'make And wondering In jest despair Ahh-dee-ahh, Ahh-dee-ahh Ahh-dee-ahh, Ahh-dee-ahh Ahh-dee-ahh, Ahh-dee-ahh
