Synopsis
Excerpt from Days of the Colonists
To Diantha Hardy
Where Parson Page his orchard set
Beside the terrace wall,
And vireo, bluebird, woodpecker,
Crossbill and catbird call,
There lived a garden quaintly sweet,
All planted for delight,
With blossoms brave in rose and gold
Or pinafored in white.
And if they stood so prim and tall
As pilgrim children stand,
And if they served the gracious Lord
Who gave them to the land,
When summer moonlight waked on earth
Its wild mysterious spell,
O then the flowers remembered things
They never chose to tell!
Then morning-glories trumpeted
Their elfin reveille,
And dewdrop lanterns lit the masque
That vanished with the day,
When Ragged Robin, Bouncing Bet,
Lad's Love and London Pride
Went dancing to the fairy lutes,
With many a flower beside!
Grandmother's garden! How it knew
The little children's ways,
The heart of life, the lore of death,
The dreams of all our days!
And when we come to Paradise
And with our loves are met,
Love walks within a garden there -
The flowers will not forget!
