As skylarks departed At rue in sorrow; -- Broke me half-hearted From sever tears And narrow -- Narrow, of my fears,
Which lolls To the broken lily That un-rolls Her half-winged angels -- Wan and chilly, To the pinions of the angels Frore and chilly --
As skylarks departed In tint of pearl; Iris skies started To sever the years Of a little girl That frolic wind swirl --
And lolls To the broken lily That un-rolls Her half-winged angels -- Wan and chilly, To the pinions of the angels Frore and chilly --
As skylarks departed In butterfly hue; Spread far plumes parted From severing peers, With gossamer and dew Drip upon me too.
And on it lolls To the broken lily That un-rolls Her half-winged angels -- Wan and chilly, To the pinions of the angels Frore and chilly --
As skylarks departed, Birds they cipher Once were all parted For sever cheers They decipher The stream of a sad lifer
That so lolls To the broken lily That un-rolls Her half-winged angels -- Wan and chilly, To the pinions of the angels Frore and chilly --
When skylarks dis-hearted Of a sussurous stream Follow with rue darted In my sever tears, I've bled to cry and scream As flown pass a dream.
And thus so lolls To the broken lily (As skylarks departed) That un-rolls (And broke me half-hearted) Her half-winged angels -- Wan and chilly, (From sever tears) To the pinions of the angels Frore and chilly -- (And shallow, of my fears)
