From the passion-flower at the gate.
She is coming, my dove, my dear;
She is coming, my life, my fate;
The red rose cries, She is near, she is near;
And the white rose weeps, She is late;
The larkspur listens, I hear, I hear;
And the lily whispers, I wait.”
—Alfred Tennyson (18091892)
“I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.”
