      The White Trillium

      Trillium graceful.
      Trillium white,
      Star of the woodland,
      Lady of light
      Lo, how she proudly
      Stands in the glade,
      Tri-sceptred sovereign,
      Queen of shade.
      Stately she rises,
      Slender-stemmed, tall,
      Gracious response to Spring's early call,
      Lifting three leaf-arms
      High from the sod,
      Gazing with pure face lip at her god.
