It cost me not one pang to shun,

The road to Joppa town.

The Reason

WHEN I was but a little girl

W

Mere flotsam on life’s sea,

Because of youth a lovely rose

Meant, just a rose to me.

Before I knew that love was life,

And life were all of love.

The sky was only atmosphere

And God frowned up above.

But now I am a woman grown

And know love tenderly,

I can not tell you dear how much

God’s roses mean to me.

When June Comes

WHEN June comes back again I’ll sit
