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:
TR UE

Both Godden and Michael Darby record this title, although it is assumed they are referring to the ordinary bookmark, listed as sb2022 on this site.

The bookmark above was previously un-recorded, as it differs from the ordinary one in that it has stylised leaves at the very top, and also the pattern between the two verses.
