ZINNIAS 
B 7 EDGAR A. GUEST 
Old-fashioned Zinnias seem to me 
Like certain patient friends and true. 
Who seek no words of flattery 
Nor any praise for what they do. 
But are the first when sorrows fall 
With offer’ngs of help to call. 
Some friendships and some flowers appear 
Too pale and delicate to last. 
Too pale and delicate to last. 
Who loves them dwells in constant fear 
Of thoughtless word or icy blast. 
The least contrary wind may end 
The fragile bloom or fragile friend. 
But Zinnias have a sturdier way. 
No pampering from friends they ask. 
Whenever planted they will stay 
And blithely go about their task. 
Whatever winds or storms descend 
On Zinnias you can depend.
