by Louis Ginsberg (1895 - 1976)

I Know That Any Weed Can Tell
Language: English 
I Know That Any Weed Can Tell
Or any red leaf knows 
That what is lost is found again 
To blossom in a rose . 

The weakest is the strongest , too ; 
For any moss has shown 
How strong its frailest fingers are 
To split the biggest stone .

And so I go my quiet way
As any quiet Spring ; 
I know the weed and moss too much 
To be afraid to sing
