… and so the Lily…
sweet be this budding bloom of white
petals delicate in the favor of light
chastity, virtue, purity, be its calling claim
this a Lily, blessed be its given name
a bloom from a bouquet, a gift received
this the bequest of beauty conceived
and with a sweet sigh I to behold
its allure and the ancient tales told
unfolding be its endearing gift of grace
such ambrosial splendor within soul I to place.
