Poem May 21, 1904 Issue

Flowers

MARY B. G. EDDY.

This poem was later republished in Poems: Po. 25

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

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

Flowers for the brave—
Monarch, or slave
Whose heart wore its grief, and is still;
Flowers for the kind,
Aye the Christians who bind
Wreaths for the triumphs o'er ill.

Pleasant View, 1904.
