EASTER LILIES.

Written for The CoURIER.l
Sweet sisters fair and white,
Pure as the silver light.
That Luna throws,
Sweet as the summers breath,
Silent and still as death,
Or frost or SHOWS.
Within its surplice fold,
l see a chain of gold,
Across each breast.
A sabre broad and keen
Stands upright is between.
BY whose request?
There is no need of guard
To keep a watch and ward
Ger charms like thine.
Such cold and calm repose
Thine innocence beStOwS,
Sisters divine.
No glorious Eastern queen,
In silk and satin sheen,
By mortal made.
No ermined king of old
Tho blest with wealth untold,
Was thus arrayed.
