MY GARDEN
by: Thomas Edward Brown
(1830-1897)
- GARDEN
is a lovesome thing, God wot!
- Rose plot,
- Fringed pool,
- Ferned 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.
"My Garden" is reprinted
