Poems (Griffin)/Our Lily-Bed

OUR LILY-BED.
THERE'S a bed of snowy liliesGrowing in our pretty yard,Like a band of trooping fairiesDancing on the fresh green sward.
See with what exquisite leisureAnd delightful grace and ease,—How they sway in perfect measureTo the music of the breeze.
Oh, I love the pretty lilies,With their brows of creamy white,And my heart goes out to kiss them,Dancing in the soft moonlight.
