“THE WATER-LILIE.”

示唆するd by a curious dream 関係のある to the writer by a lady friend.

        A lonely young wife
        In her dreaming discerns
        A lily-decked pool
        With a 国境 of ferns,
        And a beautiful child,
        With バタフライ wings,
Trips 負かす／撃墜する to the 辛勝する／優位 of the water and sings,—
        “Come, mamma! come!
        Quick! follow me—
Step out on the leaves of the water-lilié!”

        And the lonely young wife,
        Her heart （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域ing wild,
        Cries, “Wait till I come,
        Till I reach you, my child!”
        But the beautiful child
        With バタフライ wings
Steps out on the leaves of the lilies and sings,—
        “Come, mamma! come!
        Quick! follow me!
And step on the leaves of the water-lilié!”

        And the wife in her dreaming
        Steps out on the stream,
        But the lily leaves 沈む
        And she wakes from her dream.
        Ah, the waking is sad,
        For the 涙／ほころびs that it brings,
And she knows ’tis her dead baby’s spirit that sings,—
        “Come, mamma! come!
        Quick! follow me!
Step out on the leaves of the water-lilié!”
