A MOUNTAIN-GIRDED GARDEN AT ASHEVILLE by LAVINIA R. CLARK

First Line: I LOVE THE TIERS OF WOODED MOUNTAINS
Last Line: AGAINST A GRAY SKY.
Subject(s): FLOWERS;
I love the tiers of wooded mountains
Encircling this garden;
And the swift flight
Of birds, towards the light
That scallops their rim.
Above gay colors, here,
Sun-flowers flaunt their note of cheer
And of a lady testify
Who planted gold petals
Against a gray sky.
