My Garden

By Thomas Edward Brown

1830-1897


A GARDEN is a lovesome thing, God wot!
         Rose plot,
         Fringed pool,
Fern'd grot--
         The veriest school
         Of peace; and yet the fool
Contends that God is not--
Not God! in gardens! when the eve is cool?
         Nay, but I have a sign;
         'Tis very sure God walks in mine.
