ON song's exulting pinion
I'll bear thee, my sweetheart fair,
Where Ganges holds his dominion, --
The sweetest of spots know I there.

There a red blooming garden is lying
In the moonlight silent and clear;
The lotos flowers are sighing
For their sister so pretty and dear

The violets prattle and titter,
And gaze on the stars high above
The roses mysteriously twitter
Their fragrant stories of love.

The gazelles so gentle and clever
Skip lightly in frolicsome mood
And in the distance roars ever
The holy river's loud flood.

And there, while joyously sinking
Beneath the palm by the stream,
And love and repose while drinking
Of blissful visions we'll dream.
