THE REASON Little flower from the shadow land— Part of the mystery none understand, With tiny tendrils that creep and creep— You have broken a silence deep. Will you not answer and tell us your part? Why you have come from the great Master’s heart? Is there a reason—from His garden rare He has sent you, our burdens to share? Little star far up in the sky, Unanswered question of an endless Why, With eyes that only blink and blink. At all the thots mankind dare think. Why were you placed so high up above? Are you a warning, or a messenger of love? Did the kind Father bid you to shine That life for us might be more divine? Little snowflake, sky-sent gift. Piling your treasures drift on drift— Making the ugly glorious and white, Covering the whole with a new delight— Yet you have come unsummoned by us, Is it your manner to travel thus, Or is there a deeper reason still. Found in the wisdom of a Master’s will? O, questioning heart of created Man, Why must ye seek to understand ? How could the knowing bring joy to you, If all in all of life you knew? The star, the snowflake, the flower would be Still a part of life’s symphony. Be thou content, let this satisfy— There is a reason and God knoweth why. E. A.
