NY Mothers Garden
Her heart was like her garden
OId-fashioned, quaint and SWEEP
A wealth Of buds and blossoms
Hid in still retreat.
Sweet viOetS of sympathy were ai""Fs
And lilies white and pure inclosed,
Each one a whispered prayer.
Forge t me -nOts there fingered,
To late perfection brought,
And there bloomed purple pansles
In many tender thought;
! There hopes first snOwdroDs TOOK deep foot,
And lowered because they must:
There loves own roses reached above on
trellises of trust.
And in that quiet garden
The ga rden of her heart
Song birds built nests and carolen
Their song of cheer apart:
And from it still floats back 10 us,
Ter coming sin and strife,
Sweet as the breath of roses blown
The fragrance of her life. -r
