Flowers, wild flowers, oh bring them me,
Gathered from cliffs by the sunny sea,
Kissed by the mornings earliest beam,
Bathed in the sunsets golden stream.
Watched by the stars, their bright sisters above,
Clothed by the moonbeams with nantes Of love
Then by the zephyr more boldly carressed,
Stealing their fragrance, to gladden. his breast.
Bring me wild flowers from shady hooks,
Flowers that nod, by the meadow brooks,
Flowers that laugh on the fountains side,
Flowers that wave on the oceans tide.
Bring me the wild flower dripping with dew,
Bring me the blue 1ower modest and true,
Bring me me the golden CUPID lilly, and then
Pluck me the violet hid In the glen.
Lay them all gently upon my brow;
Hushl-there are Spirits about me now,
Spirits OF flowers, ah! now I know
Why I loved and cheri,hed them 80.
Each little cup is a Spirit home,
Each velvet petal a Spirit throne,
Music | hear from each tiny cell,
Weaving around me a magic spell.
Now let me sleep, and perchance I may dream,
Gently there f,lls on my eyelids a beam
OF light, from the far away Spirit-Land,
Bearing white angels, a glorious band.
Hitler they come on their pinions Of love,
Swee.er the strains Of their voices prove,
Louder, and nearer their anthems swell:
Earth, and ye loved ones-I go-Farewel!
