1.Can you put the spider’s web back in place That once has been swept away？
Can you put the apple again on the bough Which fell at our feet to-day？
2.Can you put the lily-cup back on the stem，And cause it to live and grow？
Can you mend the butterfly‘s broken wing That you crushed with a hasty blow？
3.Can you put the bloom again on the grape，And the grape again on the vine？
Can you put the dew-drops back on the flowers，And make them sparkle and shine？
4.Can you put the petals back on the rose？If you could，would it smell as sweet？
Can you put the flour again in the husk ，And show me the ripened wheat？
5.Can you put the kernel back in the nut，Or the broken egg in the shell？
Can you put the honey back in the comb，And cover with wax each cell？
6.You think that my questions are trifling Let me ask you another one：
Can a hasty word be ever unsaid，Or an unkind deed be undone？
，dear？
