CHRISTMAS LILIES.

White as tUo Christmas across the sea

And bright as the Christmas here, Dainty as maiden of high degree, And pine as the babe on its mother's knee— Sweet lilies do ye appear ! Gracefully group'd on your lofty stem, B-»cb. Avith its heart of gold Sot in its whiteness like costly gem,— Sure, never in monarch's diadem A fairer might we behold ! Daughters are ye of the parting year, -And while, with your fragrant breath, Ye whisper farewells in his dying ear, lie softly parses,— for who would ftar To die such a gentle death ? Oh. Christmas lilies, erect and white Mid the glow of the garden bloom,— You teach our hearts, with your petals bright, To look away from this world's delight To a glory beyond the tomb ! — Wych Elsi. Shag Point, Christmas, 1892.
