DREAM GARDEN by ELIZABETH M. TEFFAULT

First Line: WERE I TO PLANT A GARDEN
Last Line: THERE IN THE MIDST OF IT?
Subject(s): GARDENS & GARDENING;
Were I to plant a garden
Each seed a silver star,
And each seed grew up silver
As silver as stars are ...

Would you not help me gather
Some gold from off the moon,
And dust each silver petal
To make my garden bloom ...

All silvery and golden,
Where you and I could sit
And dream sweet dreams together
There in the midst of it?
