I Have Great Faith in a Seed
by Henry David Thoreau
Though I do not believe that
a plant will spring up
where no seed has been,
I have great faith in a seed.
Convince me
that you have a seed there,
and I am prepared
to expect wonders.
Note:
National Simplicity Day is observed on July 12th in Thoreau's honor. Thoreau was an advocate for living a life of simplicity.
As featured onThe Daily Gardener podcast:
Words inspired by the garden are the sweetest, most beautiful words of all.
Henry David Thoreau
