At the red of the dawn,
O'er the dewspangled lawn,
Where I meet the new day like a kiss,
In the sweet, fragrant shade
By the lilac trees made,
There I wander in search of my bliss...
For one joy, one alone,
Fate has giv'n as mine own,
And it dwells in you fair lilac bow'r
In its bright branches green,
In its thick, perfumed screen--
There my one poor lost joy breaks in flow'r.
