It was Lilith the wife of Adam	A
Sing Eden Bower	B
Not a drop of her blood was human	C
But she was made like a soft sweet woman	C
Lilith stood on the skirts of Eden	C
Alas the hour	B
She was the first that thence was driven	C
With her was hell and with Eve was heaven	C
In the ear of the Snake said Lilith	D
Sing Eden Bower	B
To thee I come when the rest is over	B
A snake was I when thou wast my lover	B
I was the fairest snake in Eden	C
Alas the hour	B
By the earth's will new form and feature	B
Made me a wife for the earth's new creature	B
Take me thou as I come from Adam	A
Sing Eden Bower	B
Once again shall my love subdue thee	E
The past is past and I am come to thee	E
O but Adam was thrall to Lilith	D
Alas the hour	B
All the threads of my hair are golden	C
And there in a net his heart was holden	C
O and Lilith was queen of Adam	A
Sing Eden Bower	B
All the day and the night together	B
My breath could shake his soul like a feather	B
What great joys had Adam and Lilith	D
Alas the hour	B
Sweet close rings of the serpent's twining	F
As heart in heart lay sighing and pining	F
What bright babes had Lilith and Adam	A
Sing Eden Bower	B
Shapes that coiled in the woods and waters	G
Glittering sons and radiant daughters	G
O thou God the Lord God of Eden	C
Alas the hour	B
Say was this fair body for no man	H
That of Adam's flesh thou mak'st him a woman	C
O thou Snake the King snake of Eden	C
Sing Eden Bower	B
God's strong will our necks are under	B
But thou and I may cleave it in sunder	B
Help sweet Snake sweet lover of Lilith	D
Alas the hour	B
And let God learn how I loved and hated	I
Man in the image of God created	I
Help me once against Eve and Adam	A
Sing Eden Bower	B
Help me once for this one endeavour	B
And then my love shall be thine for ever	B
Strong is God the fell foe of Lilith	D
Alas the hour	B
Nought in heaven or earth may affright Him	J
But join thou with me and we will smite Him	J
Strong is God the great God of Eden	C
Sing Eden Bower	B
Over all He made He hath power	B
But lend me thou thy shape for an hour	B
Lend thy shape for the love of Lilith	D
Alas the hour	B
Look my mouth and my cheek are ruddy	E
And thou art cold and fire is my body	E
Lend thy shape for the hate of Adam	A
Sing Eden Bower	B
That he may wail my joy that forsook him	J
And curse the day when the bride sleep took him	J
Lend thy shape for the shame of Eden	C
Alas the hour	B
Is not the foe God weak as the foeman	C
When love grows hate in the heart of a woman	C
Wouldst thou know the heart's hope of Lilith	D
Sing Eden Bower	B
Then bring thou close thine head till it glisten	C
Along my breast and lip me and listen	C
Am I sweet O sweet Snake of Eden	C
Alas the hour	B
Then ope thine ear to my warm mouth's cooing	F
And learn what deed remains for our doing	F
Thou didst hear when God said to Adam	A
Sing Eden Bower	B
Of all this wealth I have made thee warden	C
Thou'rt free to eat of the trees of the garden	C
Only of one tree eat not in Eden	C
Alas the hour	B
All save one I give to thy freewill	K
The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil	K
O my love come nearer to Lilith	D
Sing Eden Bower	B
In thy sweet folds bind me and bend me	E
And let me feel the shape thou shalt lend me	E
In thy shape I'll go back to Eden	C
Alas the hour	B
In these coils that Tree will I grapple	K
And stretch this crowned head forth by the apple	K
Lo Eve bends to the breath of Lilith	D
Sing Eden Bower	B
O how then shall my heart desire	B
All her blood as food to its fire	B
Lo Eve bends to the words of Lilith	D
Alas the hour	B
Nay this Tree's fruit why should ye hate it	L
Or Death be born the day that ye ate it	L
Nay but on that great day in Eden	C
Sing Eden Bower	B
By the help that in this wise Tree is	M
God knows well ye shall be as He is	M
Then Eve shall eat and give unto Adam	A
Alas the hour	B
And then they both shall know they are naked	I
And their hearts ache as my heart hath ach d	E
Ay let them hide mid the trees of Eden	C
Sing Eden Bower	B
As in the cool of the day in the garden	C
God shall walk without pity or pardon	C
Hear thou Eve the man's heart in Adam	A
Alas the hour	B
Of his brave words hark to the bravest	N
This the woman gave that thou gavest	N
Hear Eve speak yea list to her Lilith	D
Sing Eden Bower	B
Feast thine heart with words that shall sate it	N
This the serpent gave and I ate it	N
O proud Eve cling close to thine Adam	A
Alas the hour	B
Driven forth as the beasts of his naming	F
By the sword that for ever is flaming	F
Know thy path is known unto Lilith	D
Sing Eden Bower	B
While the blithe birds sang at thy wedding	F
There her tears grew thorns for thy treading	F
O my love thou Love snake of Eden	C
Alas the hour	B
O to day and the day to come after	B
Loose me love give breath to my laughter	B
O bright Snake the Death worm of Adam	A
Sing Eden Bower	B
Wreathe thy neck with my hair's bright tether	B
And wear my gold and thy gold together	B
On that day on the skirts of Eden	C
Alas the hour	B
In thy shape shall I glide back to thee	E
And in my shape for an instant view thee	E
But when thou'rt thou and Lilith is Lilith	D
Sing Eden Bower	B
In what bliss past hearing or seeing	F
Shall each one drink of the other's being	F
With cries of Eve and Eden and Adam	A
Alas the hour	B
How shall we mingle our love's caresses	M
I in thy coils and thou in my tresses	M
With those names ye echoes of Eden	C
Sing Eden Bower	B
Fire shall cry from my heart that burneth	D
Dust he is and to dust returneth	D
Yet to day thou master of Lilith	D
Alas the hour	B
Wrap me round in the form I'll borrow	O
And let me tell thee of sweet to morrow	O
In the planted garden eastward in Eden	C
Sing Eden Bower	B
Where the river goes forth to water the garden	C
The springs shall dry and the soil shall harden	C
Yea where the bride sleep fell upon Adam	A
Alas the hour	B
None shall hear when the storm wind whistles	P
Through roses choked among thorns and thistles	P
Yea beside the east gate of Eden	C
Sing Eden Bower	B
Where God joined them and none might sever	B
The sword turns this way and that for ever	B
What of Adam cast out of Eden	C
Alas the hour	B
Lo with care like a shadow shaken	C
He tills the hard earth whence he was taken	C
What of Eve too cast out of Eden	C
Sing Eden Bower	B
Nay but she the bride of God's giving	F
Must yet be mother of all men living	F
Lo God's grace by the grace of Lilith	D
Alas the hour	B
To Eve's womb from our sweet to morrow	O
God shall greatly multiply sorrow	O
Fold me fast O God snake of Eden	C
Sing Eden Bower	B
What more prize than love to impel thee	D
Grip and lip my limbs as I tell thee	D
Lo two babes for Eve and for Adam	A
Alas the hour	B
Lo sweet Snake the travail and treasure	B
Two men children born for their pleasure	B
The first is Cain and the second Abel	K
Sing Eden Bower	B
The soul of one shall be made thy brother	B
And thy tongue shall lap the blood of the other	B
Alas the hour	B
