THE DIFFERENCE by EDWARD ROWLAND SILL

First Line: IN THE MORNING THE FLOWERS BLOSSOMED
Last Line: AND VERY FEW ARE FAIR.

IN the morning the flowers blossomed
All about my feet:
I did not stop to pick them,
I scarcely knew them sweet.

Now in the dusky twilight
Seeking with wistful care,
Not many I discover,
And very few are fair.
