| The Garden |

| TWO of Thy children one summer day worked in their garden, Lord; | |
| They chopped the weeds of yesterday and you sent down a golden smile. | |
| Two of Thy children one sunny day worked in their garden, Lord, | |
| They hoed the furrow straight for the earthy bed and you whispered a singing smile. | |
| Two of Thy children one windy day worked in their garden, Lord; | 5 |
| They pressed out the lumps from the clayey soil and you closed your shining eyes; | |
| Two of Thy children one cloudy day worked in their garden, Lord, | |
| They dropped in the seeds with a song in their hearts and you sent a soothing tear. | |
| Two of Thy children one rainy day turned from their garden, Lord— | |
| Your Smile and your Sigh and your Tear entered into their hearts. | 10 |
| Two of Thy children, all the days of their life will work in Thy garden, Lord! | |
