There are the flowers God gives to earth
For each at birth:
Heartsease, Rosemary, and Rue,
That there in the Garden of Eden grew.
For each at birth:
Heartsease, Rosemary, and Rue,
That there in the Garden of Eden grew.
The first for thoughts, whatever the way,
Of life each day;
From which shall spring the kindly seeds
Of noble dreams and deathless deeds.
Of life each day;
From which shall spring the kindly seeds
Of noble dreams and deathless deeds.

The other two for memory
Of life to be,
That in the Garden of the Heart
Grow into Love's own counterpart.
Of life to be,
That in the Garden of the Heart
Grow into Love's own counterpart.
