Have you heard OF this aloe plant
That grows in the sunny cline
How every one of its thousand flowers
As they drop in the blooming time
Is an infant plant that fastens its roots
In the place where it falls on the
ground,
And fast as they drop from the diving
stem,
Crow lively and lovely around:
BY dying, it liveth a thousand-told
In the new that springs from the death
of the ola.
Have you heard this tale the best OF
them all
The tale of the holy and true:
He died, but his life in untold souls
Lives cut in the world anew.
His seed prevails, and is filing the earth
As the stars fill the sky above;
He taught us to yield up the love OF life
For the sake of the life of love.
His death is Our liie his loss is our gain;
The JOY for the tear, the peace for the
pain.
