LILIES OF THE VALLEY by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: BELLS OF A MUSIC SOFTLY SPOKEN
Last Line: PRAY, O PRAY!
Subject(s): FLOWERS; LILIES;

Bells of a music softly spoken,
Valley music hushed in the air,
Purity-white is its theme and token,
Fair, O fair!

Cups of a fragrance freely healing,
Cups turned downward but full for aye,
Purity-sacrament, -- souls a-kneeling,
Pray, O pray!
