Oh, lilly-white so rare, so fair,
With all thy heavenly grace,
Your are the first in Spring to come,
The children's heart to have won,
With sunshine on thy face.
You stand there so rare, so fair
Against nature's breast,
You robe her in a gown of white,
With all the beauty she possesses,
You're fairer than the rest.
Oh, majestic flower of the earth,
Jesus love you to, he said,
"King Solomon with all his might,
Could not array a one in sight,"
Oh, wondrous, wondrous flowers!
