/ Ah, Geraldine, lost Geraldine, / That night of love, when first we met, / You have forgotten, Geraldine -- / I never dreamed you would forget.
/ Ah, Geraldine, sweet Geraldine, / More lovely than that Asian queen, / Scheherazade, the beautiful, / Who in her orient palace cool / Of India, for a thousand nights / And one, beside her monarch lay, / Telling -- while sandal-scented lights / And music stole the soul away -- / Love tales of old Arabia, / Full of enchantments and emprise -- / But no enchantments like your eyes.
