Show HYACINTHS V Lon z time my hyacinths abode In cerement swathlng gloom Today they till with spicy breath V And light l of loveliest bloom The chamber where my darling sits And cheer her darkened room V cell full oft So out of shadowy V Streams forth a golden ray To show the path our feet shall tread V To smooth a doubtful way And evermore fast following night Comes on the kindling daYV V V Dearlittle garden preachers who Such tender lessons speak The meaning of my hyacinths Is never far to seek V ypu give the sorrowing sympathy And strength you give the weak Harpers Bazar |
