TO
THE MEMORY OF
WILEY REED.
ELSIE
Ah! who can rightly understand
The mysterious workings of the
mighty hand
That wields the sickle of death?
Why the tiny bud, the opening
flower,
The blosom that's fully blown,
And the withered rose, fall, side
by side,
Will never, by us, be. known.
Why the wayside flower, bruised
and bent,
With color faded and dim,
Longing to sink 'neath the wait
ing sod,
Still clings to its fragile stem,
While a fair young flower, with
beauty rare,
Is taken lrom us away,
And the tender buds on the par
. ent stem
Are left to the sun's hot ray;
And, the companion flower, too,
- left .
Bruised and broken by the shock,
Seeking shelter and strength to
sustain, ,
In t he shadow of the rock.
The Mighty Reaper stays not His
hand
For sweet bud or blossom rare.
Hut gathers all that come in His
way
The flower as well as the lare.
What the Lord giveth He taketh
away.
We grieve when he gathers our
fair,
Hut would Heaven be Heaven with
no sweet flowers
