THE TWO FLOWERS.PART FIRST.
There bloomed two lovely flowers
Ia a sweet and shady dell;
Through the summer's balmy hours
They had graced its beauty well;
The soft west wind breathed on them,
In the calm and stilly air;
And the bright sun shone upon them,
As they grew in beauty there.
Oh! happy were those flowers
In their home of love and light:
"What a merry life is ours!"
Was their chorus day and night.
The leaves bent down to watch them
With a fond and holy care,
Lest some rude-hand might snatch them
From their home, so bright and fair.

With a fond and holy care,
Lest some rude-hand might snatch them
From their home, so bright and fair.
