SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 102 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: THE LILY SAID TO THE ROSE
Last Line: "WITH METAPHORS OF HER."
Subject(s): LOVE;

The lily said to the rose,
"What will become of our pride,
When Yvonne comes down the path?"
And the crimson rose replied,
"Our beauty and pride must wane,
Yet we shall endure to stir
The pulse of lovers unborn
With metaphors of her."
