Didst ever think how simple flowers bloom, And shed their beauties on the summer air, Each giving forth its measure of perfume, Or gladdening earth by its effulgence rare — Unheeding aught that flattering lips may speak, Nor taking airs upon themselves at praise, Doing their duty with a carriage meek, And cheering all their little life of days? No jealous rivalry contention brings, As in more beauteous circles far than these; No pride impels the blossom as it swings To make some humbler sister ill at ease; But each one blooms with its own charms content, Nor, if excelled, cares it a single scent.
