be Fd a sO Lee MAY 13, 2020 Little White Lily By George Macdonald A Little White Lily Sat by a stone, Drooping and waiting Till the sun shone. Little White Lily Sunshine has fed: Little White Lily Is lifting her head. Fg Little White Lily Drooping with pain, Waiting and waiting For the wet rain. Little White Lily Holds her cup: Rain is fast falling And filling it up. c Little White Lily Said: "Good again, When I am thirsty To have the nice rain. Now I am stronger, Now I am cook Heat cannot burn me, My veins are so full” Little White Lily Smells very sweet: On her head sunshine, Rain at her feet. Thanks to the sunshine, Thanks to the rain, Little White Lily Is happy again.
