Poem
Twin lilies in the river floating, Two lilies pure and white; And one is pale and faintly drooping, The other glad and bright. Twin lilies in the silvery waters, Two lilies white and frail; And one is ever laughing gladly, The other, still and pale. Upon the peaceful gleaming waters, They linger side by side; And one, her head is drooping sadly; The other glows with pride. Twin stars are o'er the river beaming, Two stars with silvery light; And now they look with glances loving Upon the lilies white. Two lilies now are drooping lowly Unto the river tide; While in the wave the stars reflected Are floating side by side. And now the stars are bending slowly To kiss the lilies white; Who e'en their fragrant heads are lifting In wonder at the sight. And one twin lily now is longing For light and heaven above; And yields unto her star-king's keeping Her wealth of life and love. And as the star-god bends in rapture To kiss her pale, white face, Her soul is wafted into heaven Beneath his love and grace. Twin lilies in the tide were floating, With quickly coming breath, But one is left, with sad tears falling, To mourn her sister's death. Twin stars upon the waves were gleaming; Two star-gods pure and bright; But one is left—that one is fading And dying with the night.
