I have a little garden box
Upon my window sill,
Where hyacinths and sedums grow
And lilies bloom at will.

No matter how the winter's storms
May rage with ghoulish glee
And beat against my casement there,
It never frightens me.

I watch my flowers from day to day,
I water them with care
And they give back their sweet perfume --
Their fragrance fills the air.

I wonder if in years to come
That window box will grow,
When I who tend it now so well
Shall sleep beneath the snow?

I wonder if -- but who can tell
What passing years may bring?
But still -- there's always flowers to bloom
And always birds to sing.
