FLOWERS INVISIBLE

Gre *D watched the rose-trees, how they
grew
With green hands full of flowers ;
Such flowers made ¢hezr hands sweet, she
knew,
But tenderness made ours.

So now, o’er fevered brow and eyes
Two small cold palms she closes.
“Thanks, darling!” “Oh, mamma,’ she
cries,
« Are my hands full of roses?”
