Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lower Merion Lilies: And Other Poems
Lower Merion Lilies.
Sweet, how do you think of a lily? -
A vase of frosty light?
My child, it is oftentimes silly
To call a lily white.
Oh, yes! - 'tis the popular fashion
With those who do not know,
To speak of the red rose of passion.
The lily, pure as snow.
But which of your fair friends supposes
That lilies white are rare?
And what of red lilies, white roses?
Their numbers well compare.
Red lilies and roses are plenty,
White lilies, roses, few;
