    O lovely lily clean,
    O lily springing green,
    O lily bursting white,
    Dear lily of delight,
    Spring in my heart agen
    That I may flower to men.

No more curled state unfold,
Translated to a vase of gold;
In burning throne though they keep still
Serenities unthawed and chill.

I like not lady-slippers,
Not yet the sweet-pea blossoms,
Not yet the flaky roses,
Red or white as snow;
I like the chaliced lilies,
The heavy Eastern lilies,
The gorgeous tiger-lilies,
That in our garden grow.
