Adelaide Crapsey - Perfume of Youth
Work rating: Low

(Girl`s Song) 


In Babylon, in Nineveh, 

And long ago, and far away, 

The lilies and the lotus blew 

That are my sweet of youth to-day. 


From those high gardens of the Gods 

That eyes of men may never see, 

The amaranth and asphodel 

Immortal odours shed on me. 


In vial of my early years, 

As in a crystal vial held, 

What precious fragrance treasured up 

Of age and agelessness distill`d. 


XThine but to give. Give straightway all.Y 

Yea, straight, mine hands, the ointment rare 

In great libation joyous pour! 

Oh, look of youth. . . Oh, golden hair. . .
