Another Palm by careless eyes unseen,

That drearily the lingering years had measured,

Yet put forth shoots of green;

Until its ripened flower-dust uplifting,

On the strong currents of the tideless air,

With certain aim to his pent garden drifting,

A mate encountered there!

Thus seeds of Truth their noiseless flight are winging,

And Love instinctively steals through the crowd,

To hearts receptive consolation bringing,
