First Line: Lest the forest seem too green
Last Line: With accents of surprise.
Subject(s): Flowers; Lilies
Lest the forest seem too green,
Too fresh and sweet and chill,
These torches burn unwavering
Along the wooded hill.
In sconces wrought of darkness
Their curving flames arise,
To color forest stillness
With accents of surprise.
