152 FLORA’S DIAL. 
November 13. 
FIELD LILY. — Humility, 
Here is a precious jewel I have found 
Among the filth and rubbish of the world. 
I ’ll stoop for it, but when I wear it here, 
Set on my forehead like the morning star, 
The world may wonder, but it will not laugh. 
Longfellow. 
November 14. 
YELLOW LILY. — Playful beauty. 
You cannot light upon a sweeter thing. 
A body slight and round, and like a pear 
In growing ; modest eyes, a hand, a foot, 
Lessening in perfect cadence, and a skin 
As clear and white as privet, when it flowers. 
Tennyson.
