THE LILY OF THE VALLEY
by Charles G. D. Roberts
Did Winter, letting fall in vain
regret
A tear among the tender leaves of May,
Embalm the tribute, lest she might
forget,
In this elect, imperishable way?
Or did the virgin Spring sweet vigil
keep
In the white radiance of the midnight
hour,
And whisper to the unwondering ear of
Sleep
Some shy desire that turned into
flower?
