O, A Beautiful Thing Is The Flower That Fadeth!

Author: Alfred Castner King [More Titles by King]

O, a beautiful thing is the flower that fadeth,
And perishing, smiles on the chill autumn wind;
A sweet desolation its ruin pervadeth,
A fragrant remembrance still lingers behind.

O, a beautiful thing is the glad consummation
Of a life that is upright, untarnished and pure;
That spirit, when freed from this earth's animation,
Shall live, as the heavens eternal endure!

[The end]
Alfred Castner King's poem: O, A Beautiful Thing Is The Flower That Fadeth!
