A BOUQUET OF LILIES. 
WORDSWORTH. 
A LILy flower, 
The old Egyptian’s emblematic mark 
Of joy immortal and of pure affection. 
Nees ie 
THE water lilies, that glide so pale, 
As if with constant care 
Of the treasures which they bear; 
For those ivory vases hold 
Each a sunny gift of gold. 
COWLEY. 
THE virgin lilies in their white, 
Clad but with the lawn of almost naked white. 
WATER-LILIES. 
Es. RB} 
Misty moonlight, faintly falling 
O’er the lake at eventide, 
Shows a thousand gleaming lilies 
On the rippling waters wide. 
White as snow, the circling petals 
Cluster round each golden star, 
Rising, falling with the waters, 
Moving, yet at rest they are.
