THELILYPOND.

The wind is fair,Shall we take a row,Down to the coveWhere the lilies grow?Their petals whiteTo the sun unfold,Their trembling heartsAre yellow as gold.My boat is as safeAs a boat can be;You need not fearTo go with me.A fleet of lilies,So fresh and fair,Like fairy ships,Are anchored there.They rock and dipWith every breeze,Like real shipsOn real seas.My boat is as safeAs a boat can be;You need not fearTo go with me.

The wind is fair,

Shall we take a row,

Down to the cove

Where the lilies grow?

Their petals white

To the sun unfold,

Their trembling hearts

Are yellow as gold.

My boat is as safe

As a boat can be;

You need not fear

To go with me.

A fleet of lilies,So fresh and fair,Like fairy ships,Are anchored there.They rock and dipWith every breeze,Like real shipsOn real seas.My boat is as safeAs a boat can be;You need not fearTo go with me.

A fleet of lilies,

So fresh and fair,

Like fairy ships,

Are anchored there.

They rock and dip

With every breeze,

Like real ships

On real seas.

My boat is as safe

As a boat can be;

You need not fear

To go with me.
