My Garden

Thomas Edward Brown 1830 – 1897



A 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.
