Not illustrated. 1916 Excerpt: ... mother's love, And God's companionship I THE BLOSSOMS ON THE TREES BLOSSOMS crimson, white, or blue, Purple, pink, and every hue, From sunny skies, to tintings drowned In dusky drops of dew, I praise you all, wherever found, And love you through and through;--But, Blossoms on the Trees, With your breath upon the breeze, There's nothing all the world around As half as sweet as you!
