Lilies

bouncing along the river wide

a spring of pure white lilies

dancing ‘cross the bumpy tide

they waft aloft the sillies

and sing unto the water clear

a love of all things far and near

and wait until the sun departs

before they rest their joyful hearts

on petals cream they float about

passing rocks and fish and trees

swiftly swimming ‘bove the trout

gliding ‘long below the bees

their journey’s end

just round the bend

secluded pool of light

and splash and sing all lovely like

lilies with delight
