There grew little flower once,
That blossomed in a day;
Some said 'twould ever bloom
And some 'twould fade away.
Some said 1t was happiness.
Some said it was spring.
Some said it was grief and tears
And many such thing.
But still the little flower grew
And still it lived and throve.
gut men do call 1t summer growth,
But angels call 1t Love-"
