First Line: When the garden gate is open
Last Line: In weariness.
Subject(s): Flowers; Gardens & Gardening
When the garden gate is open,
The lawn is starred with daffodils
And the flowers send their perfume
To the hills.
In the middle of the garden,
And in the grass beside the pool,
The stately iris opening
Look so cool.
And when the lotus sink to sleep
In memory and forgetfulness
I tread the garden path alone
In weariness.
