Why droop beneath a smiling sky, When once thy sweet and fair head stood The princess of fair fiowerhood? Why droop and die in youth’s fair morn? Reapeth thou what thou hath sown? Thy head is bowed in sullen gloom. Why has thy death so early come? Song birds that gayly filled the breeze Sing sweetly still in nodding trees; And bees that stole thy pollen ’way; Rejoice still in their merry play. So lazily the meadow flowers dance And nimbly do the crickets prance; Nature moves on in jollity, But God’s kind love will nurture thee. —GRADY FARLEY, ’29
