OGDEN REID — INFORMAL DECORATIVE 
“Who loves a garden comes to know 
The purest time therein to go 
Is when the day has just begun, 
And dew lies sparkling in the sun. 
But Oh! the holiest time of all 
Is when the dusk begins to fall, 
And all is veiled in softest gray, 
And thrushes sing their vesper lay.” 
—LYMAN
