that blooms sometimes gives thought
too deep for tears And tbs my faith
that every flower enjoys the air it
breaths' Some flowers seem vain ant
some are modest. From my window |
see the rainbow cannas and the proud
and lofty dahliaS struttntg TO the
morning sun and not far away are the
humble violets half hiding from the
light. Tennysor says. ANY nose can

and others. 1Gentlemen, yoUI cannot
scare me. NV hack is against the wall

was not nominated for the next pres
