A Hymn

FLORENCE GILMAN HART

Sweet violets springing into birth,With timely showers that bathe the earth;The birds all caroling in songTheir early praises, loud and long,In purest melody—Should they not our devotion wake,And from each heart its burden take;Bring joy and comfort to abideWhere selfishness is prone to hide,Breaking Life's harmony?
