THE DIFFERENCE, by                    
First Line: Let two go forth into the garden of life
Last Line: They find themselves, and that is all they find.
Subject(s): Flowers; Gardens & Gardening; Heaven; Paradise


LET two go forth into the Garden of Life,
And one returns with roses: he likes flowers;
And one with darnel, henbane, thistles: why,
When flowers are plenty? Just his taste for weeds.
Where'er men go, in heaven, or earth, or hell,
They find themselves, and that is all they find.
