A ROSE TO THE LIVING by NIXON WATERMAN

First Line: A ROSE TO THE LIVING IS MORE THAN
Last Line: SUMPTUOUS WREATHS TO THE DEAD.
Subject(s): RELIGION; THEOLOGY;

A rose to the living is more than
Sumptuous wreaths to the dead;
In filling love's infinite store
A rose to the living is more --
If graciously given before the
Hungering spirit is fled,
A rose to the living is more than
Sumptuous wreaths to the dead.
