The Morning Moon

Anonymous


O LILY-LADY, 1
Dreaming serenely alone in cloud-garden shady,
No longer may’st thou muse, no more repose,
O lily-lady
In thy garden shady.	5

The great rose
Now waking, his crimson splendour doth loftily dispose;
Now is thy calm day done, now the star-daisies close,
O lily-lady
In thy garden shady.	10
