FLOWER IDYLS

EDITED BY

GERTRUDE STROHM

Oh, to what uses shall we put

The wild weed flower that simply blows?

And is there any moral shut

Within the bosom of the rose?

But any man that walks the mead,

In bud, or blade, or bloom, may find,

According as his humors lead,

A meaning suited to his mind

- Tennyson.
