NEW SPRING: 15, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The slender water-lily
Last Line: Lying before her feet.
Subject(s): Flowers; Lilies


THE slender water-lily
Peeps dreamingly out of the lake;
The moon, oppress'd with love's sorrow,
Looks tenderly down for her sake.

With blushes she bends to the water
Once more her head so sweet --
Then sees she the poor pale fellow
Lying before her feet.
