LOVE.

There grew a little flower once,
That blossomed in a day,

And some said it would ever bloom,
And some 't would fade away;

And some said it was Happiness,

And some said it was Spring,

And some said it was Grief and Tears,

And many such a thing;

But still the little flower bloomed,

And still it lived and throve,

And men do call it "Summer Growth,"

But angels call it "Love!"

THOMAS HOOD.
