Lilly, Lilly, soft sweet light,
Ever illuminating the darkest of nights.
What being of thought or feeling,
Could harm a hair of thy innocent hide?
You give so much yet ask for little; what of that?
For your forgiveness and kindness deserve immeasurable reward,
More than Midas could create with his accursed touch,
Or the advanced knowledge of the Atlantean world.
You've experienced & seen many a sight disturbing,
Yet you've come this far as if nothing's unnerving-
To the tender and forever warm heart that beats within you.
Though some things you can't endure,
There's something about you I'm not quite sure.
A kindred soul like you is rather pure,
Purer than any mortal.
So therefore -- if I may question -- art thou truly a blessed angel,
Who doth come to us canines with a cure,
A cure against temptation and evil's ugly lure?
Lilly, Lilly, soft sweet light,
Casting away death's dark sight.
What being of thought or feeling,
Dare harm a hair of thine innocent hide?

This is a poem I chose to make for my friend 
or more specifically his kind, nurse-like if not angelic but mortal female Dalmatian character, Lilly seeing as how she is rather forgiving, kind, (not one to hold grudges), moral, and so on, but aside from least 3 of her friends, it at times seems as if she's a little ignored despite her kindness. So I came up with this poem that, rather than discuss her past, (like I did with Sandy and Chive if I'm correct), in short praises her for her innocence, purity, and good will.

So I came up with this poem that, rather than discuss her past, (like I did with Sandy and Chive if I'm correct), in short praises her for her innocence, purity, and good will.However, unlike previous poems, this one doesn't have a singular pattern throughout. That is, because in this poem, I decided to use styles or details from three poets/writers from the 19th century and before. Those three are in this order:
-William Blake, (specifically his poem "The Tyger", and yes that's how it's spelled in the poem), for the first & last stanzas.
-William Shakespeare, for the 1st line of the second stanza, (I couldn't really think of how to do a whole stanza in that style, {and also that specific line setup is from the "But soft, what light through yonder window breaks" speech of adoration from "Romeo and Juliet" }).
-And Edgar Allan Poe, (specifically "The Raven"), for the 3rd stanza.
Though I will admit, I'm well aware of some mess-ups in the pattern of least the Poe-based stanza.
I do hope and Lilly enjoy the poem.
