Subject(s): Monuments; Stones; Granite; Rocks
Here in my garden I have lovely stones,
All old and grey and some with knobs of pearl;
Stones with their silver sides, and amber backs,
With mossy dimples and with horns that curl.
Would that this rockery were my grave indeed,
The monument where lie my buried bones:
Though people – coming here to think of me –
Might well forget, and stay to worship stones!
