Love.
fragrant flowers giye forth their sweets

As fragrant flowers giye forth their sweets Unto the busy bee; So, dear, do each day give forth My boundless love to thee. As parent birds watch o'er their broods Through all the somber night, So tireless vigil keep
 Ger thee my hearts delight. As slender reeds upon the bank
 The slightest wind may sway; So bend I, love to thy sweet will,
 And faithfully obey. The babe upon its mothers breast
 Sees Heaven in her eyes, So when I search the depths of thine, Isee my Paradise. Ella Eugene Ellis, in Christian Inquirer.
