Edgar Guest - The Gentle Gardener
Work rating: Low

I`d like to leave but daffodills 
    to mark my little way, 
To leave but tulips red and white 
    behind me as I stray; 
I`d like to pass away from earth 
    and feel I`d left behind 
But roses and forget-me-nots 
    for all who come to find. 

I`d like to sow the barren spots 
    with all the flowers of earth, 
To leave a path where those who come 
    should find but gentle mirth; 
And when at last I`m called upon 
    to join the heavenly throng 
I`d like to feel along my way 
    I`d left no sign of wrong. 

And yet the cares are many 
    and the hours of toil are few; 
There is not time enough on earth 
    for all I`d like to do; 
But, having lived and having toiled, 
    I`d like the world to find 
Some little touch of beauty 
    that my soul had left behind.
