The seed that sown in earth,
    Is hidden from the eye,
At length puts forth the leaf, the bud,
    The flower of radiant dye.

When wintry storms are past,
    Spring decks the verdant tree,
And at the resurrection morn,
    Such shall his rising be.





Baby's note to a Baby, with a pair of coral bracelets.


Dear little Ann,
I hope you can
    These bracelets wear.
And that you will
Remember still
    Whose gift they are.

They're very plain,
For to be vain
    I don't approve,
