Explore "Where Lilies Grow" by Ida Lee on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Where lilies grow; / The dewdrops linger on the flowers, / The birds' sweet singing chimes the hours, / I love to sit there listening, / And watch the fish there glistening.
They glance and dart both in and out, / And turn themselves all round about, / Where lilies grow.
Where lilies grow; / A pace or two the violets sweet / Spread like a carpet 'neath my feet; / The rushes tall in clusters stand; / I reach and touch them with my hand; / And yellow kingcups there unfold, / They circle like a band of gold / Where lilies grow.
Where lilies grow; / So calm, so still it is, and deep, / Around the edge green fringes peep, / Just up above the trailing weeds / Entwining, spread among the reeds, / Then hang them down along the pool, / Which lies beneath so calm and cool, / Where lilies grow.
