Classic and Contemporary Poetry
AN OXFORD GARDEN, by MARTHA HALE SHACKFORD
First Line: A shy elusive sound of soft winds blowing
Last Line: And drifting silence over all the place.

First Line: A shy elusive sound of soft winds blowing
Last Line: And drifting silence over all the place.
Subject(s): Gardens & Gardening; Wellesley College
A SHY elusive sound of soft winds blowing,
The scent of roses sweet upon the air,
The careless step of some one, idle, going
Across the grass and toward the shadow there.
A wall of grey, and smooth green ivy twining
The worn old stones and narrow window space,
The summer sunshine softly, softly shining,
And drifting silence over all the place.
