Sitting by the lily pad lake
So gently touching the water
Sadness felt only for his sake
For I am Love's heartsick daughter
Surface ripples show not my face
For only his alone I see
Thinking of his kindness and grace
I cherish none as much as he
Oh unhappy eyes cry no more
Tears won't bring my beloved here
Death came quick and my heart it tore
For illness took from me my dear
As I jump, my last breath I take
Now beneathe the lily pad lake
