THE SEED

A wonderful thing is a seed;

The one thing deathless for ever;
For ever old and for ever new;
Utterly faithful and utterly true–

Fickle and faithless never.

Plant lilies, and lilies will bloom; 

Plant roses, and roses will grow;
Plant hate, and hate to life will spring;
Plant love, and love to you will bring

The fruit of the seed you sow.
