The Water Lily Lyrics by George Whitefield Chadwick

A Flower Cycle

0

Where the dark waters lave
Where the tall rushes wave
Safe from rude winds that rave
Floats the fair lily ;
White as my sweetheart's breast
Pure as her dreamings blest
Lying in cradled rest
When night is stilly
Oft wooing comes the bee
On light wings eagerly
Leaving the pleasant lea
Luscious with clover ;
Then to her heart of gold
'Mid petals half unrolled
Fond doth the lily fold
The amorous rover
Sweetheart, within thinе arms
Fold me with all thy charms
Safe from more rudе alarms
Than thy heart's beating
Let the sweet lily be
Emblem for thee and me ;
Be thou as kind as she
In thy fond greeting !
