Now Sleeps The Crimson Petal

Now sleeps the crimson petal, now the white

Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk

The firefly wakens，waken thou with me

Now droops the milkwhite peacock like a ghost

And like a ghost she glimmers on to me

Now lies the Earth all Danae to the stars

And all thy heart lies open unto me

Now folds the lily all her sweetness up

And slips into the bosom of the lake

So fold thyself, my dearest, thou, and slip

Into my bosom and be lost in me

Now sleeps the crimson petal,now
