Now sleeps the crimson petal now the white

Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk

Nor winks the gold fin in the porphyry font

The firefly wakens waken thou with me

Now folds the lily all her sweetness up

And slips into the bosom of the lake

So fold thyself my dearest thou and slip

Slip into my bosom and be lost in lost me

Hmm
