There is a flower that resembles <br />A flitting moth in fleeting flight <br />So fair its name has launched an island <br />To natives' ever new delight <br /> <br />It is a flower that compares with <br />White doves in panoramic sight <br />It's purer than fresh snow in winter <br />Fair inspirations to ignite <br /> <br />There is a flower kings and nobles <br />Into their palaces invite <br />To beautify their lavish ballrooms <br />From breaking dawn to deepest night <br /> <br />As lovely as is the white orchid <br />I'll never own this bloom outright <br />Yet as I dream in my small chamber <br />Faith blooms in ever spreading light.<br /><br />Liilia Talts Morrison<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/white-orchid/
