Love, walking in the garden of the king,
Beheld a queenly lily blossoming,
Then fondly stooped to pluck it for his breast;
But said the Voice: "Is this thy cherishing?"

"Behold!" the Voice spake on; "Love's truest test
Would leave the blossom where it thrives the best."
So Love bent down and kissed the chaste, white thing,
And lo! the king made him an honored guest.
