I do not ask that flowers should always spring
Beneath my feet
I know too well the poison and the sting
Of things too sweet.


"Per Pacem ad Lucem". - A Chaplet of Verses (1862)


I do not ask that flowers should always spring Beneath my feet I know too well the poison and the sting Of things too sweet.

I do not ask that flowers should always spring Beneath my feet I know too well the poison and the sting Of things too sweet.

I do not ask that flowers should always spring Beneath my feet I know too well the poison and the sting Of things too sweet.

I do not ask that flowers should always spring Beneath my feet I know too well the poison and the sting Of things too sweet.
