And while she struggles in opaque
She manages to swim
She sees a white lily cast in scarlet within
She gazes at it and then yet again
A step close and another closer-
To soon lie between the petals when all she sees
Is the peaceful light she can hope to be
She reaches out and hides away
Her dark sins and morbid shades
Concealed in joy with just her means
To cease to be nothing but a fair lily

And while she struggles in opaque
She manages to swim
She sees a white lily cast in scarlet within
She gazes at it and then yet again
A step close and another closer-
To soon lie between the petals when all she sees
Is the peaceful light she can hope to be
She reaches out and hides away
Her dark sins and morbid shades
Concealed in joy with just her means
To cease to be nothing but a fair lily
