THE SEED.

The farmer planted a seed, A little, dry, black seed, And off he went to other work— For the farmer was never known to shirk, And cared for what he had need.
The night came with its dew— The cool and silent dew; The dawn came and the day, And the farmer worked away At labors not a few.
Home from his work one day— One glowing summer day— His children showed him a perfect flower; It had burst in a bloom that very hour; How, I cannot say.
But I know if the smallest seed In the soil of love be cast, Both day and night will do their part; And the sower who works with a trusting heart Will find the flower at last.
