My Flower Room is such a little placeA
Scarce twenty feet by nine yet in that spaceA
I have met God yea many a radiant hourB
Have talked with Him the All Embracing CauseC
About His lawsD
And He has shown me in each vine and flowerB
Such miracles of powerB
That day by day this Flower Room of mineE
Has come to be a shrineE
-
Fed by the self same soil and atmosphereF
Pale tender shoots appearF
Rising to greet the light in that sweet roomG
One speeds to crimson bloomG
One slowly creeps to unassuming graceA
One climbs one trailsH
One drinks the light and moistureB
One exhalesH
-
Up through the earth together stem by stemI
Two plants push swiftly in a floral raceH
Till one sends forth a blossom like a gemI
And one gives only fragranceH
In a seedJ
So small it scarce is felt within the handK
Lie hidden such delightsH
Of scents and sightsH
When by the elements of Nature freedJ
As Paradise must have at its commandK
-
From shapeless roots and ugly bulbous thingsH
What gorgeous beauty springsH
Such infinite variety appearsH
A hundred artists in a hundred yearsH
Could never copy from the floral worldL
The marvels that in leaf and bud lie curledL
Nor could the most colossal mind of manM
Create one little seed of plant or vineE
Without assistance from the First Great PlanM
Without the aid divineE
-
Who but a GodN
Could draw from light and moisture heat and coldO
And fashion in earth's mouldO
A multitude of blooms to deck one sodN
Who but a GodN
Not one man knowsH
Just why the bloom and fragrance of the roseH
Or how its tints were blentN
Or why the white Camelia without scentN
Up through the same soil growsH
Or how the daisy and the violetN
And blades of grass first on wild meadows metN
Not one not one man knowsH
The wisest but SUPPOSEH
-
This Flower Room of mineE
Has come to be a shrineE
And I go henceH
Each day with larger faith and reverenceH
