I saw her once and then no more | |
't was Edens Light on earth a while | |
She passed along the meadow floor | |
Spring seemed to smile | |
and then no more | |
Ah! What avail my magic lore? | |
She shone before mine eyes awhile | |
My peace is wrecked on Beauty's shore. | |
I saw her once and then no more | |
Oh might I see, her once again | |
Death would soon heal this heart | |
Now sad and sore, would beat anew | |
A while and then no more |
