THERE IS JOY

UNFOLDMENT

Edna M. E. Smart

Just as a bud within itselfEnfolds its fragrance, form, and hueAnd waits but on the warmth of sunTo bring its fullness into view,So shall we find in right idea,That comes to us from Mind divine,Inherent all the needed powerTo bring to bloom the full design.
