Our little acts of kindness make
The way less hard; from living take
So much of woe and pain and hurt
Give them Why let them die inert ?

IT'S the tiny thing her beauty shows;
The rarest jewel; fairest flowers;
And not the years but just the hours.
Just crowd the days with little things
And see the joy each gives and brings;
Each word and deed you give to men
Lives on! Returns to you again.

In ashes lies the lovely rose,
The jonquils blackened on their STEM,
The lily withered with its blows
And every bonny gem.
But dust daffodils outspread.
Each petaled flower dank and curled-
What grief. what crying of the dead
Has brought this sorrow the world
Here to the ground the dahlia showers,
No longer leaning on the breeze,
And all the sweet imperial flowers
Drop in this house that spans the
They could not live in much pain;
Grief fills the house from east to west,
This mighty house that spans the plain
And bends around the skies at rest
In ashes lies the lovely rose,
The lily withered with it's blows
And all the dappled flowers pied
Like ghosts upon it's stem.
For all this beauty dropped and died.
Each bonny gem.
They could not keep the bloom and leaf,
They could not live in much grief.
So every flower, dank and curled,
Dies like the flower of the world.
