A garden is a lovesome thing Matches original text
Language: English
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.
