And so it lies happily,  
Bathing in many  
A dream of the truth  
And the beauty of Annie--  
Drowned in a bath  
Of the tresses of Annie.  
She tenderly kissed me,  
She fondly caressed,  
And then I fell gently  
To sleep on her breast--  
Deeply to sleep  
From the heaven of her breast.  
When the light was extinguished,  
She covered me warm,  
And she prayed to the angels  
To keep me from harm--  
To the queen of the angels  
To shield me from harm.  
And I lie so composedly,  
Now in my bed,  
(
Knowing her love)  
That you fancy me dead--  
And I rest so contentedly,
