Luther's Lilies
John Clare Stokes
along the edge of the path
under the shade of the oak
the lilies planted by Luther Stokes
pose for their photograph.
come the sultry days of june
when low the spirit sinks
among Luther's lilies i think
and soon i lift a tune.
Thank you Luther for your love
you gave to me for the lilies
the overwhelming created beauty
I send my thanks to you above.
