Lilies
BY ARTHUR EuGENE SMITH

Birds. upon the elm trees sing
or the lilies blossominE-
Lilies yellow as the gold
That the Incss had Of old,
Are they not striped and fair
As COresn leopards are,
And as gorgeous in their bloom
As an Arab Imsn's plume?
O We tiger lilies tall.
Blooming by the garden wall
When Maud dared with lips 10 press
on your petals csress.
Did she know that Love stood nigh
Meath the rose trees canopy.
Till she felt the cruel dart.
That found Judgment in her heart,
Rowing. bending on your stalks.
Close beside the garden walks
Fsirer than those that bloom on
sunny slopes OF Lebanon;
Csrmine tipped. you BRING to me
Memory's dear Italy:
Wondrous faces, eyes OF brown
soft. smooth hands and sleepy town!
Oh. the summer OF the land.
And the tiger lilies. and
JOY who crowns Hopes SUNNY brow
with the wreath Of After-Now.
Ceres loading on the vain
Well-bound shesves OF golden grain
And upon the grass grown bed
Fairies picking berries red!
Born in darkness clothed with light
Peace hath made your morning bright
In this heav' nliest time OF year
with the tiger lilies here.
Ye who living love the light.
Truth and song, may rest Alright,
Here where life and death hav. met
Heaven is burning with regret
seen the lilies IN this land
Dancing girls from Samarcsrdi
With arms lifted. brown and bars.
Filmy wells and floating hair,
Khoten musk and altar sweet
stirred are by heir moving feet
Moving TO the ouickened time
OF the wind harp OF the lime!
Like to old friends and old wine.
Seem you 10 this heart OF mine,
In this proud worlds vain display
Lost are friends OF yesterday
And as transient he wind
Are their memres left behind
Resurrection from the sod
Is miracle OF God,
