THE LILIES
What heart can carry doubt when theso appear Year after year— Cleaving their sure way through reluctant sod To point to Cod — Climbing the ladders of the air to show The way to go? Rising in glory, slim and straight and white Out of the night; Writing the letter of a Holy Name In living flame, Here at an altar, there at a chancel's rim, Speaking of Him. Speaking of One who cleft the earth as they Cleave it to-day; Rising as they have risen, pure and white Out'of the night; These for remembrance —lilies blooming yet, Lest we forgot. —Crace Noll Crowcll. —Copied. From Elsie "Waring (ago 17). D.D.M.8.G., Gieat South Koad. Mauurewa.
