Words by Theo D. C. Miller, H. D. Music by Samuel H. Speck.
Meet me in the lovely twilight,
By the little garden gate;
When you feel that I am coming,
Darling Lila. do not wait;
Where the roses scent the breezes
And the lilies bloom so fair,
Come and greet me with a welcome,
You will ever find me there.
Chorus.
Meet me in the lovely twilight,
When the roses bloom so sweet;
I shall hide your presence, darling,
Wait the coming of your feet.
Meet me in the lovely twilight.
With your eyes aglow with love;
When you hear the song birds warble
Or the cooing of the dove.
Meet me with true love's pure token,
While I watch and wait for thee
In the mossy valley, Lila,
Where no prying eyes can see.-Chorus,
Meet me in the lovely twilight,
E're the stars begem the sky;
Where the brooklet's gentle murmur
Echoes pure love's blissful sigh.
Meet me where the weeping willow,
Or the tall oak stands so fair;
Come and greet me with a welcome,
Meet me, Lila, ev'ry where.-Chorus.
