    But who will watch my lilies,
    When their blossoms open white?
    By day the sun shall be sentry,
    And the moon and the stars by night!

Very whitely still
The lilies of our lives may reassure
Their blossoms from their roots, accessible

Growing straight out of man's reach, on the hill.
God only, who made us rich, can make us poor.

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.

Is not this lily pure?
What fuller can procure
A white so perfect, spotless clear

What fuller can procure
A white so perfect, spotless clear
As in this flower doth appear?

Yet in that bulb, those sapless scales,
The lily wraps her silver vest,
Till vernal suns and vernal gales
Shall kiss once more her fragrant breast.
