The Water Lily
BY ANNIE E. MICHENER

Under the still pond water,
Through long and lonesome hours,
Struggling ever upward,
Grows the fairest OF the flowers.
There in the bosom OF Nature,
Where the day is as dark as the
night;
No loving hands can tend thee,
Alone thou must seek the light
Far up above is glory,
Where the rays Of the golden sun
Fail on thy beautiful sisters,
And the dew, when the day is done.
Even kings extoi their beauty,
And praise their fragrance rare;
And all the wealth OF their glory,
Drifts out on the summer air.
Thou dost ever fold thee closer,
In the bosom Of thy leaves,
Lest some stain should fall upon
thee.
From the over-hanging trees.
The sun-god will not forget thee.
Though hidden away from his
sight,
In some strange. mysterious manner
He will WOO thee up to the light.
As the differing stars in glory,
Differ thy sisters fair,
Yet each one tosses its perfume
Out on the summer air.
The grandeur of their beauty,
They 10 the beggar bring;
While the richness Of their odor,
Fills the palace of the king.
When the odor OF thy beauty,
Shall float on the silent sea,
Some OF Earth's waiting children.
viii swiftly haste to thee.
And they will vie with each other.
Braving dangers, that they may
bring.
The beautiful water-lily,
To the palace Of the king.
Where all thy beautiful sisters.
Who have ever dwelt in the light.
Will marvel at thy beauty,
Born OF the darkness and night
When the king, in his royal splendor
Finds thee in his fair bowers,
In thy spotless robe, and crown o
gold,
He will name thee Queen Of tn
Flowers.
