IN LEAF.
Green thou art, obscurely green,
Meanest plant among the mean!
Meanest plant among the mean!
From the dust I took my birth;
Thou, too, art a child of earth;
I aspire not to be great;
Scorn not thou my low estate;
Time will come when thou shalt see
Honour crown humility,
Beauty set her seal on me.
Thou, too, art a child of earth;
I aspire not to be great;
Scorn not thou my low estate;
Time will come when thou shalt see
Honour crown humility,
Beauty set her seal on me.
