Results and Roses

(Selected)

The man who wants a garden fair Or small or very big, With flowers growing here and there, Must bend his back and dig.

The things are mighty few on earth That wishes can attain. Whate'er we want of any worth We've got to work to gain.

It matters not what goal you seek, here reposes: Its secret You've got to dig from week to week .To get results and roses. Edgar A. Guest, in A Heap o Livin.
