A LITTLE FLOWER.
Twaa but a fny little flower, Plucked fr un a garden fair, But oh, what lessons it did teach, What wondrous sermons it di 1 preach, As we stool wondering there.
We gazed into its beauteous folds, Its brilliant, sparkling hues, A master sculptor’s handiwi rk, Where hidden treasures blushing lurk, “ For want of thought we lose.” A star indeed of earth so sweet, Attendant of our youth, Companion through each passing hour, Sweet, blessed, fairest, perfect flower, Blest emblem of the truth. The work of God we plainly saw Within those stencilled lines, That sparkling crest of scarlet bright, Those dazzling streaks of snowy white, Omnipotence defines.
Just like this little fragrant flower May we all do our part, And live, and bloom, and flourish here, And in our path bring joy and cheer To every weary heart. H. H. Hjbatley, Orari.
