by Philip Bourke Marston (1850 - 1887)
O my Garden, full of roses
Language: English
O my Garden, full of roses, Red as passion and as sweet, Failing not when summer closes, Lasting on through snow and heat! O my Garden full of lilies White as peace and very tall, In your midst my heart so still is, I can hear the least leaf fall! O my Garden full of singing, From the birds that house therein, Sweet songs down the sweet day ringing, Till the nightingale begin! O my Garden, where such shade is O my Garden bright with sun, O my loveliest of Ladies, Of all gardens sweetest one.
