Within The Veil

Topics: classic

(Lyra Eucharistica, second edition, 1865.)     She holds a lily in her hand,     Where long ranks of Angels stand,     A silver lily for her wand.     All her hair falls sweeping down;     Her hair that is a golden brown,     A crown beneath her golden crown.     Blooms a rose-bush at her knee,     Good to smell and good to see:     It bears a rose for her, for me;     Her rose a blossom richly grown,     My rose a bud not fully blown,     But sure one day to be mine own.
