FLOWERS.
Blooming in valleys green and low,
And on the mountains high,
And in the silent wilderness,
Where no man passes by?
Our outward life requires them not,
Then wherefore had they birth?
To minister delight to man,
To beautify the earth:
To comfort man-to whisper hope,
Whene'er his faith is dim;
For who so careth for the flowers
Will much more care for him "'
