THE SPIRIT OF THE FLOWERS
The Lily praises God with open heart,
The Rose in perfumed chambers prays apart.
The Rose in perfumed chambers prays apart.
The Tulip flashes like a trumpet's blare
Love's blood-red banner answering Love's prayer.
Love's blood-red banner answering Love's prayer.
Crocus and Daisy their snug secrets keep,
Of the spring wakening and the winter sleep:
Of the spring wakening and the winter sleep:
While lowly Grass and Dandelion lay
Their green and gold to deck the King's highway.
Their green and gold to deck the King's highway.
