New paradise, and groom and bride; / The world was all their own; / Her heart swelled full of love and pride; / Yet were they quite alone? / ‘Now how is it, oh how is it, and why is it' (in fear / All silent to herself she spake) ‘that something strange seems here?'
Along the garden paths they walked- / The moon was at its height- / And lover-wise they strolled and talked, / But something was not right. / And ‘Who is that, now who is that, oh who is that,' quoth she, / (All silent in her heart she spake) ‘that seems to follow me?'
