A weed is but an unloved flower!
    Go dig, and prune, and guide, and wait,
    Until it learns its high estate,
    And glorifies some bower.
A weed is but an unloved flower!

All sin is virtue unevolved,
    Release the angel from the clod--
    Go love thy brother up to God.
Behold each problem solved.
    All sin is virtue unevolved.
