136 PURITY AND MODESTY. 
LILY, WHITE. 
Lilium Candidum. 
Language PURITY AND MODESTY. 
Where may the bright flower be met 
That can match with Magaret 
Margaret, stately, staid, and good, 
Growing up to womanhood ; 
Loving, thoughtful, wise, and kind. 
Pure in heart and strong in mind ? 
Eyes deep blue, as is the sky 
When the full moon sails on high. 
Eyebrow true and forehead fair, 
And dark, richly-braided hair. 
And a queenly head, well set, 
Crown my maiden Margaret. 
Where's the flower that thou canst find 
Match for her in form and mind ? 
Fair white lilies, having birth 
In their native genial earth 
These, in scent and queenly grace. 
Match thy maiden's form and face ! howitt.
