  A little flow’r is born to earth, It blooms then fades, yes fades away, But its influence and beauty, Within our hearts remain for aye; We can hear a sweet voice calling, We see the sunshine of a smile, We feel a joy sublimely sweet Just radiating all the while. For dear mem’ries cluster round us, Sweet messages of love are they, And they tell us, plainly tell us All earthly life is but decay, But the spirit liveth ever, And all the good and ill we do Reflect sunshine or cast shadows O’er life’s flowers so good and true. |
