In the cottage of the rudest peasant; In ancestral homes, whose crumbling towers, Speaking of the Past unto the Present Tell us of the ancient Games of Flowers. In all places, then, and in all seasons, Flowers expand their light and soul-like wings, Teaching us, by most persuasive reasons, How akin they are to human things. And with childlike, credulous affection, We behold their tender buds expand Emblems of our own greater resurrection, Emblems of the bright and better land. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow "Flowers,"1839
