Lilith

Lady Lilith 1864 image ==>

Eden's Bower 1869

It was Lilith the wife of Adam:
	(Eden bower's in flower.)
Not a drop of her blood was human.
But she was made like a soft sweet woman.

Lilith stood on the skirts of Eden:
	(And O the bower of the hour!)
She was the first that thence was driven;
With her was hell and with Eve was heaven.

In the ear of the Snake said Lilith:
	(Eden bower's in flower.)
'To thee I come when the rest is over;
A snake was I when thou wast my lover,

'O but Adam was thrall to Lilith!
	(And O the bower and the hour!)
All the threads of my hair are golden,
And there in a net his heart was holden.

'O and Lilith was queen of Adam!
	(Eden bower's in flower.)
All the day and the night together
My breath could shake his soul like a feather.
