A WATER LILY

Previous
Did I behold the Lady of the Lake
Part the cool water with a slender hand?
And brought she for her loved knight errant’s sake
Out of some liquid crypt the magic brand?
I dreamed it was the Lady of the Lake—
I did but dream! Again I looked, and knew
The water lily, white as winter’s flake,
But with a heart all gold and fragrant dew.
