Lilies of the Valley

by adewpearl

Where lilies of the valley grow,
the nightingale will trill its song,
and stems of blossoms white as snow
will chime their bells to ring along.

The fairies of the woodland play
where lilies of the valley grow --
they swing upon the bells that sway
to herald spring as breezes blow.

With lyric lilt the waters flow
from streams to join the symphony.
Where lilies of the valley grow,
all nature lives in harmony.

So delicate these May bells bloom
as health and healing they bestow.
There's magic in each buoyant tune
where lilies of the valley grow.

The lily of the valley is the birth flower for the month of May. My daughter's 27th birthday falls in May. Other names for this delicate, bell-shaped woodland flower are the May
Lily, May Bells, and Fairy Bells. This is serendipitous as my daughter loves fairies more than almost anything else in the world.
One legend about the lily of the valley is that nightingales only sing after the unique, fresh fragrance of this flower fills the air. In herbal medicine, the lily of the valley is used to treat heart disease.
I realize the bell-shaped flower in the illustration is not the right flower, but I promise you I searched fan art high and low and simply could not fine one lily of the valley.
