Scatter the Germs of the Beauti
full.
Scatter the germs of the beautiful
By the wayside let them fall,
That the rose may spring by the cottage gate,
And the vine on the garden wall
Cover the rough and the rude of earth
With veil of leaves and flowers,
And mark with the opening bud and cup
The march of the Summer hours.
Scatter the germs of the beautiful
In the holy shrine of home;
Let the pure, and the fair and the graceful there
In their loveliest luster come
Leave not trace of deformity
In the ample of the heart,
But gather about its hearth the germs
Of nature and of Art.
Scatter the gems of the beautiful
In the temple of our God
The God who starred the uplifted sky,
And Powered the trampled sod;
When He built q temple for himself,
And home for his priestly race
He reared each arch in symmetry,
And curved each line with grace.
Scatter the germs Of the beautiful
In the deoths of the human soul
They ehall bud and blossom and bear the fruit,
While the endless ages roll;
Plant with the flowers of charity
The portals of the tomb,
And the fair and the pure about thy path
In Paradise shall bloom
