OIEILIOTIROFB 



In the sunniest garden in Sussex 



The loveliest Heliotrope grows. 

 It riots in sweet-scented torders, 



wAnd then,l>realung bounds, overflows 

 Out to tli6 flags of tne footpath^ 



Exploring, and each crevice fills 

 Till the whole of the old sunpy garden 



Lpnrple. As if, when it spills 

 A mid^'Summer sunset, the Heavens 



Some cloud'-linings dropped down below 

 \S^th fleeqy w^ite phlox as a border 



For each purple cloud. And tbcygrow 

 So heavenfy sweet in this garden 



In Sussex,in sunshine aglow, 

 I would I were back in that gard en 



Where clusters of Heliotrope grow.
