I plucked a fair flower that grew	A
In the shadow of summer's green trees	B
A rose petalled flower	C
Of all in the bower	C
Best beloved of the bee and the breeze	B
I plucked it and kissed it and called it my own	D
This beautiful beautiful flower	C
That alone in the cool tender shadow had grown	D
Fairest and first in the bower	C
	-
Then a murmur I heard at my feet	E
A pensive and sorrowful sound	F
And I stooped me to hear	G
While tear after tear	H
Rained down from my eyes to the ground	F
As I listening heard	I
This sorrowful word	I
So breathing of anguish profound	F
	-
I have gathered the fairest and best	J
I have gathered the rarest and sweetest	K
My life blood I've given	L
As an off'ring to Heaven	L
In this flower of all flowers the completest	K
Through the long quiet night	K
With the pale stars in sight	K
Through the sun lighted day	K
Of the balm breathing May	K
I have toiled on in silence to bring	M
To perfection this beautiful flower	C
The pride of the blossoming bower	C
The queenliest blossom of spring	M
	-
But I am forgotten none heed	K
Me the brown soil where it grew	A
That drank in by day	K
The sun's blessed ray	K
And gathered at twilight the dew	A
That fed it by night and by day	K
With nectar drops slowly distilled	K
In the secret alembic of earth	N
And diffused through each delicate vein	O
Till the sunbeams were charmed to remain	O
Entranced in a dream of delight	K
Stealing in with their arrows of light	K
Through the calyx of delicate green	P
The close folded petals between	P
Down into its warm hidden heart	K
Until with an ecstatic start	K
At the rapture so wondrous and new	A
That throbbed at its innermost heart	K
Wide opened the beautiful eyes	Q
And lo with a sudden surprise	Q
Caught the glance of the glorious sun	L
The ardent and worshipful one	L
Looking down from his heavenly place	R
And the blush of delighted surprise	Q
Remained in its warm glowing dyes	Q
Evermore on that radiant face	R
	-
Then mortals in worshipful mood	K
Bent over my wonderful flower	C
And called it 'the fairest '	-
The richest the rarest	K
The pride of the blossoming bower	C
But I am forgotten Ah me	S
I the brown soil where it grew	A
That cherished and nourished	K
The stem where it flourished	K
And fed it with sunshine and dew	A
	-
O Man will it always be thus	T
Will you take the rich gifts that are given	L
By the tireless workers of earth	N
By the bountiful Father in heaven	L
And intent on the worth of the gift	K
Never think of the maker the giver	C
Of the long patient effort the thought	K
That secretly grew in the brain	O
Of the Poet to measure and strain	O
Till it burst on your ear richly fraught	K
With the rapturous sweetness of song	U
	-
What availeth it then that ye toil	V
You thought's patient producers to be	S
Unloved and unprized	K
Trodden down and despised	K
By those whom you toil for like me	S
Forgotten and trampled like me	S
	-
Then my heart made indignant reply	W
In spite of my fast falling tears	X
In spite of the wearisome years	Y
Of toil unrequited that lay	K
In the track of the past and the way	K
Thorn girded I'd trod in those years	Y
	-
So be it if so it must be	S
May I know that the thing	M
I so patiently bring	M
From the depths of the heart and the brain	O
A creature of beauty goes forth	Z
Midst the hideous phantoms that press	A2
And crowd the lone paths of this work weary life	B2
Midst the labor and care the temptation and strife	B2
To gladden and comfort and bless	A2
	-
So be it if so it must be	S
May I know that the thing	M
I so patiently bring	M
From the depths of the heart and the brain	O
Goes forth with a conquerors might	K
Through the gloom of this turbulent world	K
Potent for truth and for right	K
Where truth has so often been hurled	K
'Neath the feet of the throng	U
The hurrying passionate throng	U
	-
What matter though I be forgot	K
Since toil is itself a delight	K
Since the power to do	K
To the soul that is true	K
Is the uttered command of the Lord	K
To labor and faint not but still	C2
To pursue and achieve	D2
And ever believe	D2
That ACHIEVEMENT ALONE IS REWARD	K
