I made a bit of a garden,
A rose and a daffodil,
A pool to reflect the cloud drifts
Where I could sit so still,
A fern and some deep blue larkspur,
And God walked by my rill.
I planted some white columbine,
A pansy face, heartsease,
To give me comfort when I'm sad,
Hollyhocks for the bees;
And when I'd finished gardening,
God moved among my trees.
I planted lilies, purple, gold,
And tulips row on row;
I gathered violets and moss
To live where lilacs blow;
I planted flowers, and I found
God walks where gardens grow.
