To Be, To Blossom, and To Die (In memory of Alice Carroll who died April 4th 1914, aged 19 years.)
The fairest flowers, earliest plucked Soonest whithered lie Thus with our human flowers To be, to blossom, and to die.
The loveliest, brightest summer day Seems shortest--happiest hours Are soonest spent--gone from us As with the fragile flowers
The choicest fruits fall soonest-- In darkness are the glades As the wonderous, radient sunset To duskey twilight fades.
Tis thus the Heavenly gardner Looks down upon His flowers Sees one more fitting, better, Transplants it to His bowers.
Why should we loved ones murmur She's with her father dear Our tender plant, we'll miss you But we would not keep you here.
Written by Rosemary Carroll on the Death of her sister Alice
