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 from The Oxford book of English mystical verse. Ed. D.H.S. Nicholson. Oxford: The Clarendon Press, 1917.
