A thistle once grew near lily.
\ A stately lily and fair,
Ana the wind swayed the one TO the oths
And the spirit OF love was there.
Ana unto the lily and thistle
"A sweet little flower was born,
And the lily bent down to caress u.
And her finger was prlcked by a thorn,
the blood OF the pale pure lily,
In the 10y OF her motherhood shed,
Gave the sweet little stranger its color.
Gave the rose Its beautiful red.
Tho rose that unto the lily
And unto the thistle was born.
| By the lily was given Its beauty,
BY the thistle given its thorn.
