“I'll plant and water, sow and weed, Till not an inch of earth shows brown, And take a vow of each small seed To grow to greenness and renown: And then some day you'll pass my way, See gold and crimson, bell and star, And catch my garden's soul, and say: "How sweet these cottage gardens are!"” WaySoulShowsEarthStarsGrowsWaterSweetEssentialsGardenGoldPlantSeedsMy WayBrownWeedBellsGardeningInchesVowCottagesCrimsonRenown Author:E.

“Man ever talks, and Man ever dreams Of better days that are yet to be, After glittering goal, that distant gleams, Running and racing untiringly.
