WATER LILIES by G. W. D.

First Line: THE HOURS ARE WATER LILIES
Last Line: UNUTTERABLY DEAR!
Subject(s): FLOWERS; LILIES; LOVE;

The hours are water lilies
That stir but never go,
Touched by the urge of waters
That sway them to and fro --
While I am waiting, dearest,
The hours linger so!

The hours are water lilies
In bloom when you are near.
They drop their pearly petals
In waters cool and clear --
So swiftly gone a beauty
Unutterably dear!
