Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal

Lyrics

Now sleeps the crimson petal, now the white; Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk; Nor winks the gold fin in the porphyry font: The fire-fly wakens: waken thou with me Now droops the milk-white peacock like a ghost And like a ghost she glimmers on to me Now lies the earth all Danaë to the stars And all thy heart lies open unto me
