Analysis of Fire Lily
Comely lily bell
Pirouette midst dell
O’ fire dire acclaim
Laud be thy flame
Blissfully frolic rain
Curtsy heavenly ordain
Waft ambrosial scent
‘Neath dewdrops spent
Harvest moon seeps
Pigments posy reaps
Partake titian aplenty
Coffers ne’er empty
Florid starry night
Bequeath bold light
Nary censor thunder
Ignite nosegay wonder
