No flower to my eyes
More truly exemplifies
The feverish season
For the very reason
Its blooms with pomp explode
Stem carries an awkward load
Bud breaks and blooms unfurl
The petals stretch and curl
Its glamour inspires awe
Though it looks a gaping maw
In climes that might impede
This beauty’s fight to seed
Its range of tints surprises
Blessed we are it rises
From bulbous root they come
The glorious lilium
