The Water-lily
A lonely young wife
In her dreaming discerns
A lily-decked pool
With a border of ferns,
And a beautiful child,
With butterfly wings
Trips down to the edge of the water and sings:
“Come, mamma! Come!
Quick! Follow me!
Step out on the leave of the water-lily!”
Henry Lawson, 1867 - 1922
