 | Where Lilies Live and Waters Wind Away |  |
MAUD AND MARJORIE.
Maud and Marjorie
Out in the meadows,
Playing in the sunshine,
Chasing the shadows.
Out in the meadows,
Playing in the sunshine,
Chasing the shadows.
Running, romping, racing,
Like two young fillies.—
“Look,” cried Marjorie,
“Look, what lovely lilies!
Like two young fillies.—
“Look,” cried Marjorie,
“Look, what lovely lilies!
“Let's make a chain of them,
As if they were daisies!”
Marjorie makes the chain,
Maud sits and gazes.
As if they were daisies!”
Marjorie makes the chain,
Maud sits and gazes.
They tie themselves together
With the lily-chain pliant;
Pretend they're prisoners,
Taken by a giant.
With the lily-chain pliant;
Pretend they're prisoners,
Taken by a giant.
Pretend the chain is iron,—
So the giant's cruel will is,—
Till a kind, lovely fairy
Turns it into lilies.
So the giant's cruel will is,—
Till a kind, lovely fairy
Turns it into lilies.
