THE FLOWER OF DUTY.

By Virginia Bioren Harrison

BY VIRGINIA BIOREN HARRISON.
IN silence, and with progress all unseen, Throughout the cycle of a hundred years, The century plant attains its daily growth, Until at last the gorgeous bloom appears.
So, when some glorious deed for duty done The world with admiration stirs, we know That through a life of little tasks fulfilled Was formed the bud whose bursting thrilled us so.
—S. S. Times.
