Sword Lilies (Gladioli) 
Proud, stately lilies with your leaf blades green 
Clustered close about you like the swordsmen of a 
queen 
Ne’er were flowers more regal, more richly ne’er 
arrayed, 
Swaying courtly minuets through garden sun and 
shade. 
□ 
Moon-white Easter lilies scent the springtime’s shy 
advance; 
Fraught with storied splendor are the fleurs-de-lis of 
France; 
Tiger-lilies bold—the lilied nymphs of pond and 
stream— 
None excels your beauty, proud, yet fragile as a 
dream. 
□ 
Hold your court, then, gracious to the bees and hum¬ 
ming birds; 
Trail your purple, blush pearl-pink at zephyr’s flat¬ 
tering words; 
Flaunt your golden frills to green-clad knights a-stand- 
ing by, 
Your realm the joyous garden and your palace dome 
the sky! 
—Marjorie Skiff Rose.
