T\AWN, gentle flower, 
From the morning earth I 
We will gaze and wonder 
At thy wondrous birth 1 
Bloom, gentle flower! 
Lover of the light, 
Sought by wind and shower, 
Fondled by the night! 
Fade, gentle flower i 
All thy white leaves close; 
Having shown thy beauty, 
Time ’tis for repose. 
Die, gentle flower, 
In the silent sun ! 
So,—all pangs are over, 
All thy tasks are done.
