You gave me roses, love, last night,	
When the sea was blue and the skies were bright;	
And the earth was aglow with a golden light	
When you gave me roses, love, last night.	
 
Lilies I lay by your side to-day,	        5
And your face — it is colder and whiter than they;	
And I linger and listen and wonder and pray,	
As I bring you lilies to-day.
