And the flowers that grow between.

Though the breath OF the flowers Is sweet to me

He gazed at the flowers with fearful eyes,
He kissed their dropping leaves;

The Reaper saids and smiled;
Dear tokens OF the earth are they
Where He was once child.
They shall all bloom in fields OF light
Transplanted by my care,
And saints upon their garments white

And the mother gave in tears and pain
The flowers she most did love;

centage on other property has been
more than doubled, and real result will
be the amount Of taxes they pay will
