WHY JESUS WEPT.
Give me for grace
His beautiful daughter,
Voluptuous charmer ?
A golden ring
Should bring her to me ;
No marriage dreamy ;
Identity, love !
He looks up,
Stay ! In the wood
By the waterway, stands
A delicate fairy !
Molly Tyson is discovered.
I’ll steal from above,
Watch her. How good !
How sweet of her hands !
How dainty and airy !
How perfect, how kind !
How bright in her thoughts !
How subtle, refined,
The least light of her mind !
Let me approach !
O fear ! O sorrow !
I fear to encroach.
Scree-king, I borrow
Thy frown, thy pride,
Thy magical targe.
To her side I glide,
To the mystical marge
Of this lake enchaunted.
