For Richmond's Garden Wall

Title:     For Richmond's Garden Wall
Author: Robert Louis Stevenson [More Titles by Stevenson]

WHEN Thomas set this tablet here,
Time laughed at the vain chanticleer;
And ere the moss had dimmed the stone,
Time had defaced that garrison.
Now I in turn keep watch and ward
In my red house, in my walled yard
Of sunflowers, sitting here at ease
With friends and my bright canvases.
But hark, and you may hear quite plain
Time's chuckled laughter in the lane.

-THE END-
Robert Louis Stevenson's poem: For Richmond's Garden Wall
