Lines For Lizer-Jane's Album.

No two leaves that wave in Arden, No two grass blades on the plain, No two flowers that gem the garden, Show as twins in form or vein, No two grains of desert sand Counterpart leave Nature's hand. So the all resourceful mother Forms her children each unique Meet to supplement each other In the purpose all should seek Thus her aim deciphered shows None must copy, none may pose — Hence no trodden path can guide thee; Thou art duplicate of none; Untried issues shall betide thee; Options new beneath the sun And thou can'st not copy well Failing perfect parallel — Let thy course be independent Steered by three bright stars above, Ever shining soft, resplendent Boding Faith and Hope and Love, These shall guide thee to thy best, Like the wise men's beacon blest.
