The Lilies of FranceLouise Ayres Garnett
From “Flowers of War”
(J. F. S.)
FBrave as the dawn, calm as the night;
And fragrantly they sway above
The quiet head of one I love.
Hasten their bloom through the war-swept hours,
And many a lad shall have their foam
Washing with peace his new-found home.
Flooding the slopes of the western side.
It comforts me they sway above
The quiet head of one I love.
