FOR FUTURE SOWING, by BLANCHE LEA WALDEN

Subject(s): Spring
First Line: The cruel hand of frost has laid a blight
Last Line: For well we know will come another spring!
Subject(s): Spring
The cruel hand of Frost has laid a blight
Upon the zinnias in our garden space,
And purple asters droop in tattered lace
Beside the fence, yet tracery in white
Outlines each plant, each tree and crumpled vine,
Incredibly the knave, in deep remorse,
Had sought to make amends with swift recourse
To artistry and eloquent design.
The garden bloom is dead but in the pod
Are seeds for future sowing in the sun --
(The magic gifts with which all-knowing God
Has rescued Beauty from oblivion,)
And so we raise enraptured lips to sing
For well we know will come another spring!
