FLOWERS
My little one came, and brought me a flower,
Never a sweeter one grew;
But it drooped and faded in one short hour,
And lost all its pretty blue.
Never a sweeter one grew;
But it drooped and faded in one short hour,
And lost all its pretty blue.
My little one stayed in the room and played;
And so my flower bloomed bright,—
My beautiful blossom that did not fade,
But slept in my arms all night.
And so my flower bloomed bright,—
My beautiful blossom that did not fade,
But slept in my arms all night.
