Louisa May Alcott - Flowers, Dear Flowers, Farewell!
Work rating: Low

"We are sending you, dear flowers,
    Forth alone to die,
    Where your gentle sisters may not weep
    O`er the cold graves where you lie;
    But you go to bring them fadeless life
    In the bright homes where they dwell,
    And you softly smile that `t is so,
    As we sadly sing farewell.

    O plead with gentle words for us,
    And whisper tenderly
    Of generous love to that cold heart,
    And it will answer ye;
    And though you fade in a dreary home,
    Yet loving hearts will tell
    Of the joy and peace that you have given:
    Flowers, dear flowers, farewell!"
