Once we walked there, 
Ere the first Sin was born, 
Ere Eden's final dawn 
In gardens of worlds undreamt 

Once we danced there, 
In scented, rapturous nights, 
Beneath sultry moons, 
In gardens of worlds undreamt 

But drawned by lethean floods 
The age of innocence had passed 
And left no one to remember 
The blissful, dream-woven past 

But still, I seek these gardens 
Veiled by the old seraphic ban 
And in dreams I walked there, 
As once in times bygone 

Once we walked there, 
Ere the first Sin was born, 
Ere Eden's final dawn 
In gardens of worlds undreamt 

Once we danced there, 
In scented, rapturous nights, 
Beneath sultry moons, 
In gardens of worlds undreamt
