A SONG OF A GARDEN.
What a thing a garden is
For sweet dreams and quietness!
For sweet dreams and quietness!
Roses and Lilies,
Narcissus, Daffodillies,
Irises and Phlox and Stocks
And the Sultan Hollyhocks.
Love-lies-bleeding—Love-in-a-mist—
Pansies tawny and amethyst.
Narcissus, Daffodillies,
Irises and Phlox and Stocks
And the Sultan Hollyhocks.
Love-lies-bleeding—Love-in-a-mist—
Pansies tawny and amethyst.
What a thing a garden is
For medicinal heartsease!
For medicinal heartsease!
Lilac white and Lilac blue
And a bird song in the dew.
Apple-blossom white and rose,
Blue Forget-me-not and those
Pinks that have a spicy smell:
Honest Lavender as well.
And a bird song in the dew.
Apple-blossom white and rose,
Blue Forget-me-not and those
Pinks that have a spicy smell:
Honest Lavender as well.
What a thing a garden is
For the birds, for the bees!
Oh, from the dark earth to hale
Tulips and the primrose pale!
Hyacinths, and all that comes before
The full Summer's golden store.
For to create, for to bid live
These so sweet, so fugitive!
For the birds, for the bees!

Tulips and the primrose pale!
Hyacinths, and all that comes before
The full Summer's golden store.
For to create, for to bid live
These so sweet, so fugitive!
What a thing a garden is
To bid grow, to increase!
To bid grow, to increase!
