by John Moray Stuart-Young (1881 - 1939)
My little garden world
Language: English
In my tiny garden Planted near the road Many radiant blossoms Lift their eyes to God. Sweet they are and fragrant, None is proud and cold: Pansy, tulip, lily, Rose with heart of gold. Day by day I cherish Leaf by leaf unfurled Sweeter for their beauty All my little world. Such a simple lesson If we would be blest Breathe the air in gladness Love will do the rest.
