More Truth Than Poetry
By James !. Montague
ESSAY ON LIFE AND GARDENS


My roses hang diminished heads
And grow more sickly. hour by hour
My willing Persian lilac sheds
Its buds. before they flower
| never titled a garden plot
And hoped with JOY to contemplate it.
That some voracious bug did not
Devour and assimilate it,
The slugs chew OF the tulip tips
The pansies fall before the weevil.
Around the peoples crowd the thrpps-
Small squashy things and bent on evil.
They swallow liquid nicotine.
Nor seem to feel the least revulsion
They lap up quarts of Paris Green.
And thrive on kerosene emulsion.
| war upon them every day;
From bush to bush with brooms hound
them.
But they have an internal way
OF slipping from my clutch. Confound
themI
My flowers all doomed know.
For ! grow weary of endeavor,
And while rest. the insect foe
Keeps toiling the job forever.
Tis thus that thieves and burglars ply
Unhaggihgly their base vocatons
Around the clock while you and
Seek sleep and other relaxations
All, life would be one long delight
If preachers toiled like mischief brewers,
And if apostles of the right
Had half the pep of evil doersI
