Lilith the earth has drawn the waters to her
And grown a tree that branches over the ocean And screens the sky from its jealous view Adam takes the proffered fruit And dwells with Lilith among the limbs And leaves of her mortal garden She is fair and he her king, but Eve Her clouded brow is drawing him apart To live again with her as ever He promises return but knows not which And Lilith dies, and he dies too, or lives With Eve our queen to return, to return |
