IMMORTELLES by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: THEY TOIL NOT, NEITHER DO THEY SPIN'
Last Line: AND NEVER HENCE TO PASS AWAY.

"They toil not, neither do they spin" --
The blossom-thoughts that here within
The garden of my soul arise;
Alike unheeding wintry skies,
Or sun or rain, or night or day,
And never hence to pass away.
