Lily In the Valley

I saw a lovely lily
In the valley of beauty
Said to come back for it 
For it held my very heart

I saw a lovely lily
In the valley of beauty
But my faint heart lingered 
And my feeble heart stayed

And when later I came
To claim the lily in the valley
Someone held it to his own heart
I missed the lily that I loved
