A THOUGHT.
The rose which in the sun's bright
rays
Might soon have drooped and perished,
With grateful scent the shower repays
By which its life is cherished.
Might soon have drooped and perished,
With grateful scent the shower repays
By which its life is cherished.
And thus have e'en the young in years
Found flowers within that flourish;
And yield a fragrance, fed by tears,
That sunshine could not nourish!
Found flowers within that flourish;
And yield a fragrance, fed by tears,
That sunshine could not nourish!
