LEGACIES, by                    
First Line: Unto my friends I give my thoughts
Last Line: Turn it into a flower.
Alternate Author Name(s): Wetherald, Ethelwyn


Unto my friends I give my thoughts,
Unto my God my soul,
Unto my foe I leave my love—
These are of life the whole.

Nay, there is something—a trifle—left;
Who shall receive this dower?
See, Earth Mother, a handful of dust—
Turn it into a flower.
