The Fragrant Perfume of the Flowers.

Topics: classic

The fragrant perfume of the flowers,     Exuding in the summer hours,     E'en as the altar's incense rare     Disseminated through the air,     May never reach the azure skies,     Yet can the earth aromatize.     And so the voice of secret prayer,     Ascending on the wings of air,     Though it should reach no listening ear,     Of Deity inclined to hear,     Still soothes the anguish of the mind,     And leaves a tranquil peace behind.
