MY GARDEN, by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON First Line: I have a private garden plot Last Line: To walk in the garden again with you. Subject(s): Gardens & Gardening; Wellesley College | |||
I HAVE a private garden plot, It is a pleasant, sheltered spot, Its air is stirred by never a breeze, Blue larkspur forms a stately frieze For the garden wall, and locust trees Make chequered shade when the sun is hot. O'er dew-damp paths we walked; you knew And loved my garden odors, too; Roses and phlox and mignonette -- They cling about my senses yet! I shut my eyes, when the sun has set To walk in the garden again with you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LINES WRITTEN TO A TRANSLATOR OF GREEK POETRY by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON THE LESSER BEAUTY by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON WORK by MARGARET STEELE ANDERSON IN MEMORY: MISS JEWETT by GRACE ALLERTON ANDREWS HERE ENTER NOT by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON I CLEANED MY HOUSE TODAY by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON HERE ENTER NOT by KATHARINE CANBY BALDERSTON |
