THE FLOWERS OF ETERNITY, by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE First Line: The good deeds we have sown Last Line: In that fair realm beyond the sun. Subject(s): Flowers; Gardens & Gardening; Nature; Roses | ||||||||
THE good deeds we have sown, They are not lost; Their seeds have crossed The heavenly borderland and grown Into eternal flowers there To make His garden-plots more fair. Each good deed is a rose Whose gentle grace Shall bless the place Where the good doer's spirit goes; For all the heavenly mansions stand In gardens sown by human hand. Though now invisibly The gardens grow, We yet shall know The flowers of eternity, And count our roses, one by one, In that fair realm beyond the sun. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WHISPER OF THE ROSE by EDMUND JOHN ARMSTRONG THE WISDOM OF THE ROSE by ELSA BARKER LOVE PLANTED A ROSE by KATHARINE LEE BATES ROSES; A VILANELLE by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON THE PAINTER ON SILK by AMY LOWELL VARIATIONS: 17 by CONRAD AIKEN WORDS IN A CERTAIN APPROPRIATE MODE by HAYDEN CARRUTH A MEMORY by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE |
