Gardens

{poem written on scrap of paper, inserted in journal:}

Gardens
"A garden is a lovesome thing, God woh!
Rose, plot,
Fringed pool, Ferned grot -
The veriest school
Of peace! And yet the fool
Contends that God is not –
Not God! in gardens! when the air is cool?
Nay, but I have a sign;
'Tis very sure God walks in mine."

- Thomas E. Brown
