  	                FLOWERS 

 1	    MIRRORS of morn
  	    Whence the dewdrop is born,
 3	    Soft tints of the rainbow and
  	      skies — 
  	    Sisters of song,
 6	    What a shadowy throng
  	    Around you in memory rise! 

  	    Far do ye flee,
 9	    From your green bowers free,
  	    Fair floral apostles of love,
  	    Sweetly to shed
12	    Fragrance fresh round the dead,
  	    And breath of the living above. 

  	    Flowers for the brave — 
15	    Be he monarch or slave,
  	    Whose heart bore its grief and is still! 
  	    Flowers for the kind — 
18	    Aye, the Christians who wind
  	    Wreaths for the triumphs o'er ill! 

  	      Pleasant View, Concord, N. H., May 21, 1904.
