"A garden is a lovesome thing, God wot! 

 Rose plot, 



Fringed pool, 

 Fern'd grot 



The veriest school 

 Of peace; and yet the fool 



Contends that God is not 

 Not God! in gardens! when the eve is cool? 

 Nay, but I have a sign; 

 'Tis very sure God walks in mine." 



THOMAS EDWARD BROWN.
