FLOWERS.

Oh! they look upwards in every place
Through this beautiful world of ours,
And dear the smile on m old mans face
Is the smile of the bright, bright flowers!
They tell us of wanderings by woods and streams,
They tell US Of lanes and trees
But the children of showers and sunny beams
Have lovolicr tales than these
The bright, bright flowers.
They tell of a season when mon were not
When earth was by angels trod,
And leaves and flowers in every spot
Burst forth at the call of God
When spirits, singing their hymns at even,
Wandered by wood and glade,
And the Lord looked down from the highest heav en-,
And blessed what he had made
Tho bright, bright flowers.
That blessing remainoth upon them still,
Though often the storm-cloud lowers
Though frequent tempcsts may soil and chill
Tho gayost of oarth's fair flowers.
When Sin and Death, with their sister, Griof
Made home in the hearts of men,
The blessings of God on each tender leaf
Preserved in their beauty then
The bright, bright flowers.
Tho lily is lovely as when it slept
On tho waters Of Eden's lake:
And sweet is the woodbino when it crept
In Eden from brake to brake.
They were left the proof of the loneliness
or Adam and EvU's first home
They are here as typo of tho joys that bless
Tho Just in world TO come
The bright, bright flowers
