The Battle Hymn of the Republic
...
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the seam,
With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me:
As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.

From The Song of Solomon
...
Thy two breast are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies
Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the fountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.
His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.

Magnificat
for Sian, after thirteen years
...
when we met, I tell you
it was a birthday party, a funeral
it was a holy communion
between women, a Visitation
it was two old she-0goats butting
and nuzzling each other in the smelly fold

Slough
...
In labour-saving homes, with care
Their wives frizz out peroxide hair
And dry it in synthetic air
and paint their nails.
come, brined bombs, and fall on Slough
To get it ready for the plough.
the cabbages are coming now;
The earth exhales.
