Scarce had the Saviour spoken thus,
When, suddenly, springs from the moss
A rose most fair to see.
From it the name of moss-rose comes,
And now in every land it blooms,
Sweet type of modesty.
Into Christ's earthly cup some sweet
The moss had poured — had kissed His feet ;
This its reward at last.
O heart, still true and tender rest.
If, like the moss, thou art depressed.
The rose is budding fast !
