A SPRING soNe.

When Love comes to my garden
He walks with dainty tread.
The lilies blaze before him,
The moss-rose lifts It's head;
The trim-kept lawns grow greener,
The borders blush with pride,
The buds burst into blossom
When Love walks by my side.
When Love leaves my sad garden
The roses petals fall.
The jasmine's scented clusters
Fade, dying, on the wall;
The lawns grow dock and thistle.
The paths are rank with weeds,
And all the dainty borders
Are strewn with fallen seeds.
Sweet Love. stay in my garden,
Rest in its rosy shades,
Bask in its scented sunshine.
Dream in its leafy glades;
Sing to the strings of pleasure,
Through all hfe's penilune;
Make every season summer.
Let every month be June.
