THE BUTTERCUP
Dear little chalice, catching the sunlight,
Holding the drops of the morning dew,
Growing so sweetly here by the roadside,
Would I might learn a lesson from you.
Out of the sunlight and glory of God,
To gather the sweetness and leave the rue.
Holding the drops of the morning dew,
Growing so sweetly here by the roadside,
Would I might learn a lesson from you.
Out of the sunlight and glory of God,
To gather the sweetness and leave the rue.
