DO I believe? O lovely rose,
Outside the garden-close,
Unplanted, wild and free!
How could I doubt His skill,
Whose love created thee?
The fields are red with clover,
And daisies star the lea,
But not in all the meadow
Is flower so dear to me.
'T is in thy face forever,
His heavenly face I see
Who made the garden roses,
And left my wild rose free.
Do I believe? O fairest all prairie-flowers.
As winds believe in midnight,
As stars believe in midnight,
So I believe in thee!
