The lily flower

*             ..............                       *
/|\ It was fresh and lively . . . /|\
** a yellow petal so bloomy . . .
                    But . . .
*** for only that morning...
/|\  it wilted and fell off . . . /|\
**  brown and so brittle . . .
                    And . . .
*** the lily plant was dull...
                      **
