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.
