Thou laughest at the mill, the whirr and worry

Of spindle and of loom,

And the great wheel that toils amid the hurry

And rushing of the flume.

Born to the purple, born to joy and pleasance,

Thou dost not toil nor spin,

But makest glad and radiant with thy presence The meadow and the lin.

The wind blows, and uplifts thy drooping banner, And round thee throng and run

The rushes, the green yeomen of thy manor,

The outlaws of the sun.

The burnished dragon-fly is thine attendant,

And tilts against the field,

And down the listed sunbeam rides resplendent With steel-blue mail and shield.

Flower-de-Luce.

Thou art the Iris, fair among the fairest,

Who, armed with golden rod

And winged with the celestial azure, bearest

The message of some God.

Thou art the Muse, who far from crowded cities Hauntest the sylvan streams,

Playing on pipes of reed the artless ditties

That come to us as dreams.

O flower-de-luce, bloom on, and let the river.

Linger to kiss thy feet!

O flower of song, bloom on, and make forever The world more fair and sweet
