6. Essays — Stories — Poems Relating to a Garden 



The following titles are merely intended to be suggestive to the 

 teacher by broadening thought that centers in the garden work 

 and offering frequent opportunities for new stories that shall give 

 the children glimpses of the garden as a part of life and literature. 

 The writings of Thoreau, Emerson, John Burroughs, John Muir, 

 Schuyler Mathews, of Hamilton Gibson and Dr. Henry Van Dyke 

 and others suggest themselves. Many of the nature study courses 

 arranged by the educational departments of the different states 

 give scattered poems such as those of Wordsworth, Shelley, Long- 

 fellow, Bryant, Whittier, Tennyson, etc. Some compilations have 

 already been mentioned. The poems of Emily Dickinson and of 

 Christina Rossetti hold numerous dainty, musical and ennobling 

 sentiments touching on the garden. The Poetry of Nature, edited 

 by Dr. Henry Van Dyke, prides itself upon selecting only those 

 poems which are in all respects true to nature, though seen with the 

 eye of the poet.
