Little white rosebud, so dainty and
pure,
Storms of life thou couldst never en-
dure;
So ere the heat of the midsummer
day,
The Master hath plucked thee and
borne thee away.
Borne thee away to a garden more
fair;
Storms cannot hurt thee when shell
tered up there.
Winds can not scatter thy petals afar,
Nothing can blight thee and nothing
can mar.
Dear little rosebud. so fragile and
white,
Plucked from a garden where storms
ever blight,
Thou art transplanted to blossom
above,
Tended and sheltered by infinite love.
Would / recall thee to blossom below,
Scorched by the sunshine and chilled
by the snow?
No. Thou shalt never by life's storms
Gladly / give thee to blossom in
heaven. Selected.
