Unloved the garden bough shall 
sway, 
The tender blossom flutter 
down, 
Unwatched that beech 
shall gather brown, 
This maple burn itself _ 
away. - 
Unloved the sunflower 
shining fair 
Ring round with flame 
her disk of seed, 
And many a rose-carna- 
tion feed 
With summer spice | the 
humming air. 
Till from the garden and the — 
wild - 
A fresh association blow, — 
And year by year the 
landscape grow 2 ; 
Familiar to the 
stranger’s child. . 4
