FLOWERS
1
The flowers are silent in their bloom
Without a sorrow or a tomb
Enjoying homes by all so dear
The summer months of every year
2
Winds are its suitors, and they play
Music all the summer day
Round its beauty and its breath
That never hears the voice of death
3
They are the pearls of earth and air
And meet with friendship every where
The scripture truths of every soil
Field flowers that neither spin nor toil
4
The flower is silent in its bloom
Without a sorrow or a tomb
Enjoying sunshine, winds and showers
Silence is the life of flowers
