Within The Veil

Within The Veil

She holds a lily in her hand,
Where long ranks of Angels stand,
A silver lily for her wand.


All her hair falls sweeping down;
Her hair that is a golden brown,
A crown beneath her golden crown.


Blooms a rose-bush at her knee,
Good to smell and good to see:
It bears a rose for her, for me;


Her rose a blossom richly grown,
My rose a bud not fully blown,
But sure one day to be mine own.
