Scatter Ye Seeds.

SCATTER ye seeds, and flowers will spring Strew them at broadcast o'er hill and glen; Sow in your garden, and time will bring Bright flowers, with seeds to scatter again.

Scatter ye seeds—nor think them lost, Though they fall amid leaves and are buried in earth; Spring will awake them, though heedlessly tossed, And to beautiful flowers those seeds will give birth.

Scatter ye seeds in the garden of heart, Seeds of affection, of truth, and of love; Cultivate carefully each hidden part, And thy flowers will be seen by angels above.

Then scatter ye seeds each passing year; Sow amid winds and storms of rain— Hope give thee courage, Faith cast out fear, God will requite thee with infinite gain.
