As the petrol loves the sea,
AS the wild bee loves the thyme
As the poet loves the rhyme.
AS the blossoms love the dew
But the angels loved thee too.
Once, when twilight's dying head
Prest her golden sheeted bed.
And the silent stars drew near.
White and tremulous with fear.
While the nights repelling frown,
Strangled the young zephyr down,
Told l all my love to thee,
Hoping, fearing, Lilly Lee.
Fluttered then her gentle breast.
With troubled sweet unrest,
Like bird near the net,
Which the fOwler's hand hath set:
But her mournful eyes the while.
And her spirit speaking smile,
Told me love could not depart
Deaths pale arrow from the heart,
flushing from that very day,
Passion pleading to have sway,
Folding close her little hand,
Watched | with her till the sand
Crumbling from beneath her tread,
Lowered her softly to the dead,
Where in peace she waits for me,
Sweetest, dearest, Lilly Lee.
AS the chased heart loves the wave.
As blind silence loves the grave,
As the penitent loves prayer,
As pale passion loves despair,
Loved |. and still love | thee,
