V. 2. / 138.) Crushed Lilies . . .




In the orange-gold dye of ten thousand lilies
The tiler lays his tiny tiles ---
The path he makes
He forms of their powered gold
Clear as glass the little pollen pieces of their heart
Molten first, then shaped, his tiles ---
Till he be given ---
The sheer substance of the way he paves:
Of them, and for them the path --- his precious
Crushed lilies . . .
