    The lily wraps her silver vest,
    Till vernal suns and vernal gales
    Shall kiss once more her fragrant breast.

Gazed through clear dew on the tender sky.

And the stately lilies stand
Fair in the silvery light,
Like saintly vestals, pale in prayer;
Their pure breath sanctifies the air,

Even in the simplest flowers that blow,
God's ever-watchful care might see.
