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
