260 SOME FAMOUS GARDENS 



the lower garden, and the wall were not bounded 

 by a common way that goes through the park, they 

 might have added a third quarter of all greens ; 

 but this want is supplied by a garden on the other 

 side of the house, which is all of that sort, very 

 wild, very shady, and adorned with rough rock- 

 work and fountains. 



SIB WILLIAM TEMPLE. 



IN DOVE COTTAGE GARDEN 



ON the terrace lies the sunlight, 



Fretted by the shade 

 Of the wilding apple-orchard 



Wordsworth made. 



Sunlight falls upon the aspen, 



And the cedar glows 

 Like the laurel or the climbing 



Christmas rose. 



Downward through green-golden windows 



Let your glances fall ; 

 You'd not guess there was a cottage 



There at all. 



Vines of bryony and bramble 



Overhang the green 

 Of the crowding scarlet-runner 



And the bean.
