Down gentle flowers / From the morning earth / We will gaze & wonder / At the wondrous birth / Bloom gentle flowers / Lovers of the light / Sought by wind & shower / Fondled by the night / Fade gentle flowers / All thy white leaves close / Having shown thy beauty / Time if for repose / Die gentle flowers / In the silent sun / Lo, all pangs are over / all thy tasks are done. / / Sarah Ann Cook
