THE SEED.

By Sel.

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 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 bloom in that very hour, But 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.
—Sel.
