verse 2
Though winter snows fall deep and long
The flower grows the while
The weary traveller passing by
Feels warmer for her smile
verse 3
Sunshine and the tender flower
Both melt the young man's heart
But he who lingers waits his turn
Must learn to play his part
verse 4
Through summer days of warmth and love
The young man tends his flower
But blinded by their colours bright
Heeds not the passing hour
Verse 5
The autumn leaves once clothed with gold
Now frayed and sadly worn
The flower bids a chill farewell
The young man's heart is torn
Verse 6
