LXI TAKOMA PARK STATION, WASHINGTON, D. C. SEPTEMBER 23, 1913 No. 38 Can You ? CAN you put the spider's web back in place Can you put the flour again in the husk That once has been swept away? And show me the ripened wheat? Can you put the apple again on the bough Can you put the kernel again in the nut, Which fell at our feet today? Or the broken egg in the shell? Can you put the lily cup back on the stem Can you put the honey back in the comb And cause it to live and grow ? And cover with wax each cell? Can you mend the butterfly's broken wing Can you put the perfume back in the vase That you crush with a hasty blow? When once it has sped away? Can you put the bloom again on the grape Can you put the corn silk back on the corn, And the grape again on the vine? Or down on the catkins, say? Can you put the dewdrops back on the flowers You think my questions are trifling, dear, And make them sparkle and shine? Let me ask you another one: Can you put the petals back on the rose? Can a hasty word be ever unsaid, If you could, would it smell as sweet? Or a deed unkind undone? — Selected. The "Sons of God" Versus the "Daughters of Men" No. 3 J. D.
