WEALTH by NETTIE ARVILLA DOWNEY

First Line: FLOWERS BY MY DOOR
Last Line: CARILLON BELL.
Subject(s): WEALTH; RICHES; FORTUNES;

Flowers by my door;
A babbling brook;
In friends not poor;
Favorite books;
Inglenook.

Bird matins at dusk;
A child at my knee;
Orient musk
On every breeze;
Leafy trees.

Night candles lit
Sounding day's knell;
Drowsy insects that flit
Whispering -- All's well;
Carillon bell.
