FLOWERS Flowers the poetry OF earth
lmpulsive, pure. and Wild
With what strange delight they fill
The wandering, nirthful child
|; clasps their leaflets close awhile,
Then strews them wide around
For life hath many joy TO spare
Along It's opening bound
Frail gifts we call them, prone to fade
Ere the brief spring is DER,
Though down the smten strong man falls
Returning never more
Time wears away the arch OF rock,
And rends the ancient throne.
Ye; back they come, unchanged, as when
On Eden's breas; ;hey shoue
How passing beautiful they are,
On youths uncouded plain.
And vet We scarcely know their worth
Till life is on It's wane,
Then Grows their love deeper thing,
AS our lone pathway tends
Down mid the wiiherins plants OF hope.
And graves of buried friends
We nurse them in our easement warm,
When Winter rules the year,
And see them raise their graceful form,
The darkest day TO cheer;
Within our coffin lid they glow,
When death hath had his will,
And 0 er our pillow in the dust
They bend and blossom still.
