BEAUTY UNSEEN

By Beatrice M. Hanson


I came upon a woodland path
I had not explored before
To find a rainbow of flowers
From seeds the wind had sewn.

They nestled close together,
They needed not my care
The morning sun, the drops of rain
Were all they wished to claim.

Their fragrance and their beauty
Could thrive and die in time,

Without the observation of a
Single human eye!
