Formal Elegance

White orchid! White orchid!
Beauty of the full moon's light!
Please and praise us tonight!
In poise and elegance of hue!
White orchid...a gift...elegant
Butterfly of black!! Stand
And rest amid your petal sin view!
Thank you fear Lord for
the formal butterfly of black
Amid the beauty of
The orchid of white!
Forever formal in elegance.
