Dirge To Lily.

Lily my flower Why have you left me? I went off this morning Leaving you there Standing uncovered, Your rosy-pink softness Displaying your beauty To all who might stare. Lily my blossom Whose scent was around me, Heady, exotic, Encased in your glow. Flown-away Lily Whatever has happened? Beautiful Lily, Where did you go? Petals are withered. Fallen down ground-ward. I stare at your stalk Standing solitary, - bare -. Now who shall I talk to On my balcony garden? Who shall I admire, Lily, Now you're not there?
