First Line: By the rippling blue lagoon
Last Line: (I, her hapless lover, chan).
Subject(s): Gardens & Gardening
By the rippling blue lagoon,
Where the tall pagodas rise,
Crimson-winged, against the skies,
Beneath the magic of the moon,
Goes Lu San, the fair Lu San
(I, her lowly gardener, Chan).
Where the scented lilies sway,
And the flowering almond grows;
Where the tall magnolia throws
Petals down like silver spray,
Goes Lu San, my fair Lu San
(I, her hapless lover, Chan).
