The Queen’s Gift 
Queen Isis walked in earths garden, 
In her silvery robes at night. 
The moon cast a halo upon her path, 
Guiding stars reflected their light. 
As the Queen moved on in silence, 
Many flowers had gone to sleep; 
But fair lilies looked up in reverence, 
The face of their ruler to meet. 
The Queen blessed the chaste white lily 
And she said, “You seem quite alone, 
I will send unto you a sister 
And a white delphinium was grown. 
The Queen walked again in her garden, 
’Neath the light of the silvery moon; 
Bringing to earth her new treasure 
And seeking a place for its home. 
Marked by a snow-capped mountain. 
There appeared Hoodacres so fair; 
So out from a heavenly garden, 
The Queen planted her jewel there.
