Flowering Rush - The Language of Flowers

Flowering Rush.

Confidence in Heaven.

Oh, there is solemn peace, and strength sublime,
And holy fortitude, and deep sweet rest,
In all our thoughts and visions of that clime
Where dwell the spirits of the loved and blest.
In every hue of gladsome beauty drest,
They come across our hearts like gleams of light,
Fraught with a mission, at God's high behest-
A mission to relieve our mental sight
By glimpses of a life where all is calm and bright.
