AN OLD-FASHIONED GARDEN by PEARL PRISCILLA SMITH

First Line: THERE'S AN OLD-FASHIONED GARDEN
Last Line: THAT COMES BACK TO ME!
Subject(s): GARDENS & GARDENING;

There's an old-fashioned garden
Near an old-fashioned home;
In that old-fashioned garden --
In fancy -- I roam.

Those sweet-smelling roses;
That columbine rare;
And the face -- of my mother --
Are all mingled there

In a picture that memory
Has painted I see
An old-fashioned garden --
A rose-bowered garden --
That comes back to me!
