by Mary Coleridge (1861 - 1907)

Through the sunny garden
 (Sung text for setting by R. Quilter)
 Matches original text
Language: English 
Through the sunny garden
  The humming bees are still;
The fir climbs the heather,
  The heather climbs the hill.

The low clouds have riven
  A little rift through.
The hill climbs to heaven,
  Far away and blue.
