Lily

How happy are soft lilies!
Are you upset by how delicate they are?
Does it tear you apart to see the lilies so permissive?

I cannot help but stop and look at soft lilies.
Down, down, down into the darkness of the lilies,
Gently they go - the untoughened, the low-toned, the euphonious.

A geranium, however hard it tries,
Will always be big.
A geranium is outsized. a geranium is mammoth,
a geranium is large-scale, however.
