Results and Roses by Edgar Guest

RESULTS AND ROSES

The man who wants a garden fair
Or small or very big
With flowers growing here and there
Must bend his back and dig

The things are mighty few on earth
That wishes can attain
Whate’er we want of any worth
We’ve got to work to gain

It matters not what goal you seek
Its secret here reposes:
You’ve got to dig from week to week
To get Results or Roses
