- IVORY CUPS Stars that bless the day with fragrance, Gleaming soft and white in the sun, Nodding, smiling at the cloudlets, Gracefully, dancing in the ·breeze. Velvet pttals,-foamy white, Ivory beads of suave delight Sampaguita like yet-more rare, Ivory cups so sweet and fair. We know not yet from where you came. Is it from far off land or heaven? Your dd · cate beauty we adore. Ivory beads of charm galore. -Lulu de la Paz-Gabriel
