Oh Lucifer !
There was, as in the fairy tales,
As ne'er in the time's raid,
There was, of famous royal blood
A most beautiful maid.
She was her parents' only child,
Bright like the sun at noon,
And like the virgin midst the saints
And among stars the moon.

From the deep shadow of the vaults
Her step now she directs
Toward a window: at its nook
Bright Lucifer expects.
She looks as in the distant seas
He rises, darts his rays
And leads the blackish, loaded ships
On the wet, moving, ways.
To look at him every night
Her soul her instincts spur;
And as he looks at her for weeks
He falls in love with her..
