THE LILY.

 

image of lily flower
with words wrapped around:

The Lily Should the Emblem be
of That Pure Love I feel for thee.

 

 

 
Morn impearl
thy leaves with dews;

Evening lend them
rosy hues,

Morn with snow white
splendour bless

Night with glow worm
jewels dress,

Thus fulfil
thy summer day,

Spring, and flourish and
decay;

Live a life
of fragrance - then

Disappear -
to rise again.

with letters interspersed:
TRUE
LOVE

Both Godden and Michael Darby record this title, and it is assumed they are referring to the ordinary bookmark above.

There also exists a previously un-recorded similar bookmark, that differs from the one above in that it has stylised leaves at the very top, and also has two verses with a pattern between. This bookmark is now recorded on this site as sb2024.
