LILY THE BEAUTIFUL FLOWER
A WONDROUS SCENT UPON AN APRIL SHOWER
YOUR WHITE OUTER LAYER AS A SYMBOL OF PURITY
AS YOU BLOSSOM INTO FUTURITY
YOUR INNER LAYER IS GOLDEN
A SWEET NECTAR IT IS BEHOLDING
YOUR BLOOM SITS UPON A LONG NECKED STEM
A CHARACTER OF THE PERFECT GEM
EVEN THOUGH YOUR LEAVES ARE MANY
THEY COMPARE NOT TO YOUR PEACEFUL SERENITY
THOUGH YOUR SEASON BE SHORT
YOUR WORTH WAS AS OF MELODIOUS CONSORT
A WHOLE YEAR MUST PASS BEFORE WE SEE YOU AGAIN
YET YOUR ALLUREMENT SHALL NEVER END
