SPlinSTG FLOWEKS. 



And lowly shrubs with leafless stems 

 Put forth their fragrant flowers ; 



And day by day fresh simple gems 

 Arise to deck our bowers. 



Though richer, brighter be the hues 



Of radiant Summer's train, 

 A deeper gladness these infuse 



Now scattered o'er the plain ; 



Leading our thoughts beyond the grave 



To earth's eternal Spring, 

 When those whom Jesus died to save 



Shall rise to meet their King.
