First Line: My garden fountain sings tonight
Last Line: And dream of sorrow's girding spheres.
Subject(s): Fountains; Gardens & Gardening
MY garden fountain sings to-night,
Its margin is all moist with spray, --
That snow-white marble margin where
A white rose dreams of drooping day.
Upon the rose fall rhythmic drops,
Snow-cool from the pale fountain's crest, --
Drops cooler than the shadows when
The sun leads day-spring to the west.
Unto the rose, my fountain's rim
Is ample joy, while I, through tears,
Can see my garden growing dim,
And dream of sorrow's girding spheres.
