THE FLORAL
WATER-LILY.
A realm of pleasance, many a mound,
And many a shadow-chequered lawn
Full of the city’s stilly sound.
And many a shadow-chequered lawn
Full of the city’s stilly sound.
Tennyson.
A broad canal
From the main river sluiced, where all
The sloping of the moonlit sward
Is damask work, and deep inlay
Of braided blooms unmown, which creep
Adown to where the waters sleep;
A goodly place!
From the main river sluiced, where all
The sloping of the moonlit sward
Is damask work, and deep inlay
Of braided blooms unmown, which creep
Adown to where the waters sleep;
A goodly place!
