THE LILIES OF THE FIELD.
I love the lilies of the field
Whose grace adorns my way,
For they remind me of a form
More beautiful than they!
I love the wild rose, bending meek,
At summer evening's close;
But there is yet a fonder cheek,
Where blooms a richer rose!
Whose grace adorns my way,
For they remind me of a form
More beautiful than they!
I love the wild rose, bending meek,
At summer evening's close;
But there is yet a fonder cheek,
Where blooms a richer rose!
I love the hour when shadows sleep,
When twilight walks the dew,
But, oh! there is an eye more deep;
Yet soft as twilight's too:
I love to watch Night's starry brow,
Above the darkness shine,
'T is heavenly sweet, as one I know,
Whose love makes life divine!
When twilight walks the dew,
But, oh! there is an eye more deep;
Yet soft as twilight's too:
I love to watch Night's starry brow,
Above the darkness shine,
'T is heavenly sweet, as one I know,
Whose love makes life divine!
