James Matthews Legar&eaute 1823-1859 John Bartlett

 
1
    Go bow thy head in gentle spite,
Thou lily white,
For she who spies thee waving here,
With thee in beauty can compare
As day with night.
          To a Lily.
2
    Thou in thy lake dost see
Thyself: so she
Beholds her image in her eyes
Reflected. Thus did Venus rise
From out the sea.
          To a Lily.
