God's Flowers.
GOD'S FLOWERS .
Oh ! ' tis a beauteous thing to see , 'Neath sun and genial shower , The bud in tiny folds enwrapped , Expanding into flower ; In fancy's eye we see it bloom In colours rich and rare , Lading the breeze with sweet perfume , So lovely and so fair !
Small as the compass of the bud , Within it is enclosed The blossom , and successive fruit In perfect form disposed ; Each separate part , in season due , Fulfils its destiny ; Past , present , future—all combined—Nature's epitome !
Yet still more beauteous , lovelier far Than these , there may be found The buds of promise springing up In Life ' s vast garden ground ; Sweet , tender , frail , yet precious gems , Quickened by light divine ; Fair flowrets , lent us for awhile , From God's immortal shrine .
Fostered ' neath sunshine of our hopes , Oft watered by our tears , With anxious eyes we watch their growth , And guard their tender years ; Firmly , yet gently , do we bend The stem in right incline , Trusting God's providence will make Beauty and strength combine .
Thus then in helpless infancy , In childhood ' s happy hour , Gradual in growth , at length we see Developed manhood's flower ; And when in time the blossom fades , Its waning splendour gone , God's ripening grace perfects the fruit , And plants it near His throne . F . W . DRIVER , M . A ., P . M . 62 , Lancaster Road , Notting Hill , W .
