Tall and fierce the tiger lilies, Seeming dark and sunburnt Paynims, Ever whispering of the Southland Where the suu-kissed breezes blow. Telling of the rich pomeeranates And the lotus bending low. Fair and bright the ~ayside lilies Lifting chalices of Rleaming, Ruby Iiuts, and wet with dew, Guarded by the tali and Dmbre Fern frouds drawn without numb

 Henehmen silent, strong. and true. Sweet and lowly are the lilies, Modest lilies of the valley. sprineiug up beside the footpaths Midst Che busy haunts of men, With their fragrance like the breath
