   Shall follow wherever she goes. And the crown of the virgin shall be of gold, And the lilies shall be of snow, And the rose that blooms at her feet shall unfold. Like the lily that buds below. For the crown of the virgin is pure and white, And the roses are sweet and fair, And the lilies that bloom in the pale moonlight.

   Builded castles in Wonderland, Silver castles across the sea . . . And danced with fairies hand in hand! The world is for her a mystery . . . Child princess of the prince to be . . (The rose has faded out of the sky) Ride swift, fair prince, by Love's sweet grace, To win the wild rose of her face. Before it too shall fade and die.

   Oh, Dawn with hair of pallid gold, This is the hour of your delight, Up-waving from the east your white. Tremulous rose-stained wings of light, Beat softly at the gates of Night, The air is delicately cold. And see! your spears of sunlight hurled. Athwart the pale sky's ranks of grey,
