More prized than jewels rare,
A faded flower, a broken ring,
A tress of golden hair.- 'Tis but a Little Faded Flower, reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 12.

Within its inmost core,
Some fond remembrance hidden deep,
Of days that are no more?- 'Tis but a Little Faded Flower, reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 507.
