Birds and Nature Vol. 11 No. 3 [March 1902] / Illustrated by Color Photography

Hepatica, anemone,
And bloodroot snowy white,
With their pretty wildwood sisters,
Are opening to the light.
Each blossom bears a message
That a little child may read,
Of the wondrous miracle of life
Hid in the buried seed.
In the woods and fields and gardens
We may find the blessed words
Writ in beauty, and may hear them,
Set in music by the birds.
