First Line: Roses of red and iris blue
Last Line: Are the words from your garden you phoned to me here.
Subject(s): Flowers


Roses of red and iris blue,
Flowers of various kinds and hues
Have come to my door in ages past
Only to wither, never to last.

Orchids and lilies, smilax and thyme,
All from a garden where memories twine.
But the flowers most precious, kind friend and dear,
Are the words from your garden you phoned to me here.
