Results and Roses

[rose0mary]

This 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.
