THANKS FOR COLOUR BEAUTY | ||
|   |
For the yellow of the buttercups For the gold of the sunflowers bright: For the pink of pale virginia stocks, Their mauve & blue & white! For shades of bright delphiniums, For lupin-tints-and those The deeper hues of fragrant-souled Where grows the damask rose! For glowing greens of moss and rush, For the restful greens of trees, For the pastel softened shades Wind-stirred upon the leas! For browns of trunk and branch & twig For burnished autumns' dress: For every colour planned by thee We bring our thankfulness |

|   | ROADSIDE FLOWERS |
|

|   |
We are the roadside flowers Straying from garden grounds; Lovers of idle hours Breakers of ordered bounds. If only the earth will feed us If only the wind be kind We blossom for those who need us The stragglers left behind. |
