LILY AND ROSE
Roses bring we to our love,
But lilies to the dead,
White flowers to the breathless give,
To the breathing, red.
But lilies to the dead,
White flowers to the breathless give,
To the breathing, red.
Yet soon the breathing shall be cold
And earn the purer flower,
The lily hath immortal lease,
The rose an hour.
And earn the purer flower,
The lily hath immortal lease,
The rose an hour.
