JEZEBEL
Fire righteous ! Thou a righteous man ! A jest !
A righteous manyou always loved me best,
And even when lured by lips of wanton girls
Would turn away and sigh and touch my curls
And slip half-conscious to the old embrace :
And now you will not let me see your face
Or hear your voice or touch you. Ah ! the hour !
He moves. Come back, come back, my lifes one
flower !
Come back. One kiss before your leave me. So !
Stopturnone little kiss before you go ;
It is my rightyou must. Oh no ! Oh no !
