A Garland. 
Reward of Virtue. 
A garland fair we twine for thee 
Of sweet and fadeless flowers ; 
Of such as shall forever be 
Bright in the darkest hours. 
Here are the loveliest flowers of youth, 
Humility, and meakness ; 
And blossoms fair of love and truth, 
Are sending forth their sweetness. 
May no blight come o’er this wreath, 
Which now thy brow is shading ; 
Guard it with care, for life is brief, — 
’T will then remain unfading.
