ANAXAGORAS. 



THB rose-seed holds the glory of the rose ; 



Within its heart sweet summer fragrance bides. 



And there each petal's tender blush-tint hides, 

 Till June bids nature all her charms disclose. 



The sleeping infant's heart and brain may hold 

 The glorious power that in future years 

 Shall move the listening world to smiles and tears 



'Tis life potential that the days unfold. 



One act of Will Divine, and lo ! the seed 



Of growth was sown in young creation's heart. 

 From Life Eternal hath all life its start 



And endless change as changeless law we read.
