A Humble flower inspires internal worth and restraint
A reflective verse praises a simple perfumed flower and its quiet lesson for humbling pride. The piece shifts to local commentary on Norfolk life in 1853, noting dull times, trade, and the Maine Liquor Law debates. It includes Bishop Burgess's views on prohibition and a critique of military leadership in Washington.
