Title:     Song [The Summer Down The Garden Walks]
Author: Edith Nesbit [More Titles by Nesbit]

THE summer down the garden walks
Swept in her garments bright;
She touched the pale still lily stalks
And crowned them with delight;
She breathed upon the rose's head
And filled its heart with fire,
And with a golden carpet spread
The path of my desire.

The larkspurs stood like sentinels
To greet her as she came,
Soft rang the Canterbury bells
The music of her name.
She passed across the happy land
Where all dear dreams flower free;
She took my true love by the hand
And led her out to me.

[The end]
Edith Nesbit's poem: Song [The Summer Down The Garden Walks]
