My Garden

Thomas Edward Brown (1830–1897)

A GARDEN is a lovesome thing, God wot!

Rose plot,

Fringed pool,

Fern’d grot—

The veriest school

Of peace; and yet the fool

Contends that God is not—

Not God! in gardens! when the eve is cool?

Nay, but I have a sign;

’Tis very sure God walks in mine.
