The garden rose is nurtured well <br />And raised with care to heads adorn, <br />In various hues, and sizes shapes, <br />Perfuming world in ways untold. <br /> <br />And made as garlands for the Gods, <br />Or strewn upon the cemeteries, <br />Or placed in vases that confound <br />The eyes of people, who behold. <br /> <br />What beauty has the flower rose <br />That casts a spell when well arranged <br />In flower-shows at health resorts <br />That draws huge crowds who watch spell-bound! <br /> <br />But there are flowers more, concealed <br />In heart of forests untrodden, <br />With beauty unsurpassed, unheard, <br />Perfuming air where wild beasts live! <br /> <br />The beauty that is seen as rife <br />Is not the best, humans perceive; <br />The flower wild has more beauty <br />-The awesome proof of Gods glory.<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/flowers-63/
