First Line: For every blade of grass

Subject(s): Memory; Time
First Line: For every blade of grass
Last Line: A sweeter life shall give.
Subject(s): Memory; Time
FOR every blade of grass,
Remains a drop of dew;
For every opening bud,
Some flower's bright hue.
To every man there comes
An hour of glad surprise;
A ray of golden light
From out the deep blue skies.
Expect that hour and hope,
Enjoy that hour and live;
Its memory when it dies,
A sweeter life shall give.
