THE GARLAND. 



No cultivated garden did he own, 



But found his bent by wayside and in forest ; 

 He gather'd flowers where seed was never sown, 



Unless by Nature's Florist. 



He lacked the cultured mind so richly prized, 



But in the wastes of soul found endless choosings. 



And cuH'd a garland, not to be despised, 

 Of transient thoughts and musings. 



Robert Leighton.
