[Page 658]FLOWERS OF THE GARDEN

Submitted to UNICEF by the Bahá’í International Community, this song was included in the UNICEF Universal Children’s Day kit for 1977

UNITED STATES Mrs. J erald Day

We are the flow-ers of one gar - den, Bright as

morn - ing,

Fresh as the dawn. Love - ly in diff- ’ren-ces, - ied in love-li-ness.

We are the flow - ers

I am a black rose, dark, exotic, Poignant in beauty, fragrant as the night. God has entrusted me with joy and mystery. We are the flowers of humanity. (All together)

I am a red rose, sweet and lovely,

Gay as a bird on a bright summer day,

Singing the song of God, where’er I wander.

We are the flowers of humanity.

My color’s golden, bright as sunshine Gilding the ocean and the morning sky, Soft as a summer mist, sweet in

the valley. We are the flowers of humanity.


I am a white rose, gleaming, shining, Sparkling like snow on the mountainside, Restless as whitecaps flung by the ocean’s breeze. We are the flowers of humanity.

Brown is my color, rich and glowing,

Full of the warmth of God’s sweet love,

Heir to all nations, grandeur my destiny.

We are the flowers of humanity.

We are the flowers of God’s garden Bright as the morning, fresh as the dawn, Lovely in differences, varied in loveliness. We are the flowers of humanity.
