The Garden blossoms well, my dear,
As there you wait for me
But do not think to take my soul
I will not bow to thee
And I will sit beyond, my dear,
(The Dark Moon high above)
One hundred buds each day shall die
Before I give my love
This flower to your call won`t bend
Nor will I lie beneath
For from the earth, as you, I came
I`ll bear no bridal wreath
The Garden blossoms well, my dear,
The mirror calleth me
The Other World shall be my home
Throughout eternity

We shouldn't bow to dark entity.The mythological story of Lilith has been used beautifully.An allegorical poem.
Superbly constructed and beautifully written. Thank you for sharing this. I know of Lilith my late mother taught me. My magnificent teacher and she would have enjoyed reading your beautiful poem. So I thank you from myself and my late mother. Take care.
Thank you for reading and commenting on Lilith Shaun, so pleased you enjoyed.
Not this time Lillith! ! ! What a beautiful poem and Lullaby. Enchanted by the melodious rhythm! ! ! !
We all fall from grace from time to time. We get to climb back up, perhaps not so for Lilith. I loved the gentle cadence of rhyme that permeats this dark allegorical poem.
Magical! Don't think it matters whether you know anything of Lilith or not. This is a beautiful in it's own right. Dawn xxx

I would like to translate this poem
This is a classical style with some nice use of older language to give that character as with the use of repetition drawing the reader from the beginning to the closure to reinforce the sentiment and air or other worldliness, spiritual.
