LILIES IN THEIR ARMS, by                    
First Line: There will be brides in june-time; they will go
Last Line: Remember brides are tender, fragile things.
Subject(s): Brides; Dreams; Flowers; June; Lilies; Nightmares


There will be brides in June-time; they will go
From petalled aisles with lilies in their arms,
Unknowing that the future holds alarms,
That hours which might pass swiftly can be slow.
Oh, sweet is June when love is new and all
The world is fair as one home yet to be
When heaven comes to earth and ecstasy
Is in each flower and each sweet bird-call.

Break not the spell and let no word be spoken;
Say not the road to love is sometimes rough,
Nor intimate that dreams of life are broken.
On broken dreams love's homes stand strong enough,
But while love is a fledgling trying wings,
Remember brides are tender, fragile things.
