Paternoster Row E.C.

Printed in Germany]

All round the year the changing suns and rains

Beat on men's work--to wreck and to decay--

But nature builds more perfectly than they,

Her changing unchanged sea resists, remains.

All round the year new flowers spring up to shew

How gloriously life is more strong than death;

And in our hearts are seeds of love and faith,

Ah, sun and showers, be kind, and let them grow.
