Heart of the Garden

Gardens cannot thrive in shade an ill-fated penurious terrain like love that's made, but made in vain gardens cannot thrive in shade As light hides behind the trees shadows conceal the reverie this ground, immortal beauty made yet gardens cannot thrive in shade Lilly of the Valley, forget me not's retain some portion of blame her shades of blue and soft white hue a fertile mirage for a spectral fool Gardens cannot thrive in shade for speck of sun that has no place everything seems to wither in grey awakening desires endless strain Tis not this garden I sought to find in an age I thought I'd left behind but now as I gaze upon the grey Its sure my garden wont thrive in shade A Forrest floor, that's what you are a bed of amber promise made A flowerless fern lovely yet sparse which seems best loved from afar How do I tell you and where do I start? all of my flowers are shriveling gradually in the garden of my heart
