Stolen Salvias + 

O, bleeding blossoms, tell, were my heart there⁠— + 

There in your bed, + 

Would that sweet thief that stole you unaware + 

Have stolen it instead? + 

Come with me, scarlet salvias, to your home; + 

We are not late; + 

Love in the moonlight there again will roam⁠— + 

There let us wait. + 

I still remember when one night she crowned + 

Me with the stars + 

Plucked from your scarlet sky⁠—she would astound + 

The kings of Mars. + 

She then would slay me⁠—wash the face of night + 

With my bold blood⁠— + 

Ay, she would show that yours is not as bright + 

And not as good. + 

O, scarlet salvias, why should I refuse + 

When I’m with you? + 

Why should I chill my lady, if she choose + 

To steal me too? + 
