Where Lilies Live and Waters Wind Away Verses by F. W. Bourdillon: Pictures by Edith J. Berkeley |

[Let others sing of water-falls] |
 | Where Lilies Live and Waters Wind Away |  |
[Let others sing of water-falls]
Let others sing of water-falls
That streak with white the mountain-walls;
Or mighty rivers, on whose tide
The navies of all nations glide.
That streak with white the mountain-walls;
Or mighty rivers, on whose tide
The navies of all nations glide.
But I have found a simpler theme
In following the fenland stream,
That winds 'mid quiet fields away,
Where lilies live and children play.
In following the fenland stream,
That winds 'mid quiet fields away,
Where lilies live and children play.
