Psalms103:15
As flower of the field.
What is life! like a flower, with the bane in its bosom,
Today full of promise —tomorrow it dies! —
And health —like the dew-drop that hangs in its blossom,
Survives but a night, and exhales to the skies!
How oft beneath the bud that is brightest and fairest,
The seeds of the canker in embryo lurk!
How oft at the root of the flower that is rarest —
Secure in its ambush the worm is at work? —James Beattie, 1735-1803.
