/ I. The lake she haunts lies dreamily / 'Neath sleepy boughs of melody, / And far away an olden sea, / An olden sea booms mellow; / And the sunset's glamours smite / Its clean water with strong light / Wov'n to wondrous flowers, where fight / Breezy blue and winking white, / Ruby red and tarnished yellow.
/ II. 'Mid green rushes there that swing, / Flowering flags where voices sing / When low winds are murmuring, / Murmuring to stars that glitter; / Blossom-white with purple locks, / 'Neath unfolded starry flocks, / In the dusky waves she rocks, / Rocks and all the landscape mocks / With a song most sweet and bitter.
