I Wonder.

By Susan B. Roberts

If God has given earth such flowers, What shall we see in heaven's bowers? If this is sin-stained earth we see, What must the charms of heaven be?

Neglected flowers seem to say, We rise above ourselves each day, Tho low may be their wildwood bed Each flower lifts a beauteous head.

But when the florist's task is done, Has added care to rain and sun, We stand enraptured with the sight Of nature's charms of beauty bright.

If wonders never cease to rise In sinful earth, what of the skies? If this is sin-stained earth we see, What must the charms of heaven be? Susan B. Roberts.
