Although the town I grew up in wasn’t large enough for the ballet school I attended to put on a full Nutcracker ballet, several times we would do portions of the ballet. One of my favorite memories was when we would do the Waltz of the Flowers. Just hearing that piece makes me want to dance again. December’s Seasonal Delights Series.

It was published posthumously in a collection of his writings titled Thoughts for Every-Day Living.The familiar hymn version was created by Franklin L. Sheppard, who set the poem to music in 1915 and adapted it to the version published in that year.
