Ah Geraldine lost Geraldine	A
That night of love when first we met	B
You have forgotten Geraldine	A
I never dreamed you would forget	B
	-
Ah Geraldine sweet Geraldine	A
More lovely than that Asian queen	A
Scheherazade the beautiful	C
Who in her orient palace cool	D
Of India for a thousand nights	E
And one beside her monarch lay	F
Telling while sandal scented lights	E
And music stole the soul away	F
Love tales of old Arabia	G
Full of enchantments and emprise	H
But no enchantments like your eyes	H
	-
Ah Geraldine loved Geraldine	A
More lovely than those maids I ween	A
Pampinea and Lauretta who	I
In gardens old of dusk and dew	I
Sat with their lovers maid and man	A
In stately days Italian	A
And in quaint stories that we know	A
Through grace of good Boccaccio	H
Told of fond loves some false some true	I
But Geraldine none false as you	I
	-
Ah Geraldine lost Geraldine	A
That night of love when first we met	B
You have forgotten Geraldine	A
I never dreamed you would forget	B
	-
'T was summer and the moon swam high	J
A great pale pearl within the sky	J
And down that purple night of love	K
The stars concurrent spark on spark	L
Seemed fiery moths that swarmed above	K
And through the roses o'er the park	L
Star like the fire flies filled the dark	L
A mocking bird in some deep tree	M
Drowsy with dreams and melody	M
Like a magnolia bud that dim	N
Opens and pours its soul in musk	O
Gave to the moonlight and the dusk	O
Its heart's pure song its evening hymn	N
Oh night of love when in the dance	H
Your heart thrilled rapture into mine	A
As in a state of necromance	H
A mortal hears a voice divine	A
Oh night of love when from your glance	H
I drank sweet death as men drink wine	A
	-
You wearied of the waltz at last	P
I led you out into the night	Q
Warm in my hand I held yours fast	P
	-
Your face was flushed your eyes were bright	Q
The moon hung like a shell of light	Q
Above the lake above the trees	H
And borne to us with fragrances	H
Of roses that were ripe to fall	R
The soul of music from the hall	R
Beat in the moonlight and the breeze	H
As youth's wild heart grown weary of	K
Desire and its dream of love	K
	-
I held your arm and for awhile	S
We walked along the balmy aisle	S
Of flowers that like velvet dips	H
Unto the lake which lilies tile	S
Like stars and hyacinths like strips	H
Of heaven and beside a fall	R
That down a ferned and mossy wall	R
Fell in the lake deep woodbine wound	T
A latticed summer house we found	T
A green kiosk through which the sound	T
Of waters and of breezes swayed	U
And honeysuckle bugles played	U
Soft serenades of perfume sweet	V
Around which ran a rustic seat	V
And seated in that haunted nook	W
I know not how it was a word	X
A touch perhaps a sigh a look	W
Was father to the kiss I took	W
	-
Great things grow out of small I've heard	X
And then it was I took between	A
My hands your face loved Geraldine	A
And gazed into your eyes and told	Y
The story ever new though old	Y
You did not look away but met	B
My eyes with eyes whose lids were wet	B
With tears of truth and you did lean	A
Your cheek to mine sweet Geraldine	A
I never dreamed you would forget	B
	-
The night wind and the water sighed	Z
And through the leaves that stirred above	K
The moonbeams swooned with music of	K
The dance soft things in league with love	K
I never dreamed that you had lied	Z
	-
How all comes back now Geraldine	A
The melody the glimmering scene	A
Your angel face and ev'n between	A
Your lawny breasts the heart shaped jewel	C
To which your breath gave fluctuant fuel	C
A rosy star of stormy fire	A2
The snowy drift of your attire	A2
Lace deep and fragrant and your hair	B2
Disordered in the dance held back	C2
By one gemmed pin a moonbeam there	B2
Half drowned within its night like black	C2
And I who sat beside you then	A
Seemed blessed above all mortal men	A
	-
I loved you for the way you sighed	Z
The way you said I love but you	I
The smile with which your lips replied	Z
Your lips that from my bosom drew	I
The soul your looks like undenied	Z
Caresses that seemed naught but true	I
I loved you for the violet scent	Z
That clung about you as a flower	A2
Your moods where shine and shadow blent	Z
An April tide of sun and shower	A2
You were my creed my testament	Z
Wherein I read of God's high power	A2
	-
Was it because the loving see	H
Only what they desire shall be	H
There in the well belov d's soul	D2
Affection and affinity	H
That I beheld in you the whole	D2
Of my love's image and believed	Z
You loved as I did nor perceived	Z
'T was but a mask a mockery	H
	-
Ah Geraldine lost Geraldine	A
That night of love when first we met	Z
You have forgotten Geraldine	A
I never dreamed you would forget	Z
