FLOWERS Written for Flower Service of Sunday School, Temple Emanu-El, May 20, 1917
I

Spring,—the season's pioneer,—
  Most joyous time of all the year,
Has come. And, with it, birds and flowers,
  'To cheer our hearts and deck our bowers.

II

Flowers yield color and perfume, too,—
  Sweet to smell and good to view,
They need the sunshine and the shower,
  And prove God's goodness and His power.

III

They give us love and joy and peace.
  Oh! may these blessings never cease.
May this Spring bring to us, once more,
  Eternal peace—and end the war.
