Let Good Will Prevail at the
Convention
The roses red upon my neighbor's vine
Are owned by him, but also they are mine.
His was the cost, and his the labor, too,
But mine as well as his the joy their loveliness to view.
They bloom for me, and are for me as fair
As for the man who gives them all his care;
Thus I am rich, because a good man grew
A rose-clad vine for all his neighbors’ view.
I know from this that others plant for me,
And what they own, my joy may also be;
So why be selfish, when so much that’s fine
Is grown for you upon your neighbor’s vine?
