The Lilies of this World

 

The Lilies of This World

 

The lilies of this world are not from here.

The lilies of this world are from beyond…

They overwhelm in such a divine beauty,

yet bring the Heavens and the earth in bond.

 

The lilies of this world are not from here.

With wondered eyes I cry, and gasp, and look.

Courageous buds, the graceful popping blossoms,

the Artistry Divine this wonder took!

 

There are long moments, and I’m still in wonder…

Like newborn babes, in beauty’s deep enchant. 

How sings my heart, and how my soul quivers,

in this abundance of the Godly art!…
