Robert Louis Stevenson: Collected Poems | ||
XIX
For Richmond's Garden Wall
When Thomas set this tablet here,
Time laughed at the vain chanticleer;
And ere the moss had dimmed the stone,
Time had defaced that garrison.
Now I in turn keep watch and ward
In my red house, in my walled yard
Of sunflowers, sitting here at ease
With friends and my bright canvasses.
But hark, and you may hear quite plain
Time's chuckled laughter in the lane.
