DEEP in a lonely garden on the hill,
Lulled by the low sea-tides,
A shadow set in shadows, soft and still,
A wandering spirit glides,
Smiting its pallid palms and making moan
O let my Love atone!
Deep in a lonely garden on the hill
Among the fallen leaves
A shadow lost in shadows, vague and chill,
A wandering spirit grieves,
Beating its pallid breast and making moan
O let my Death atone!
