Wayside Blossoms.

LAURA E. NEWELL.
J. F. KING.

1. Blossoms by the wayside
Springing at our feet,
How ye cheer the dreary livelong day!
Harbinger of summer,
We your presence greet;
Welcome, blossoms, smiling by the way.

REFRAIN.
Fairy blossoms by the wayside lon
How ye bless us as with sweetest tone,
Music soothes the weary, lulling into rest
Hearts by care and sorrow are oppressed.

2. Blossoms by the wayside
Sparkling bright with dew,
Gleaming in your beauty fair to view,
Bring to mind the message
Of the Father's care;
Welcome, blossoms, smiling by the way.

REFRAIN.

3. Blossoms by the wayside
Beautiful and sweet,
By the lonely mountain e'en we greet,
Bring inspiration,
Fondest hopes impart,
Gladdening the weary traveler's heart.

REFRAIN.
