Our Garden Party

My sweet Grannie invited me for afternoon tea She said we would dine beneath the cherry tree Their pink blossoms will decorate our place And there will be spring violets in a silver vase In the corner garden she always likes to grow yellow tulips that put on a brief but lovely show Inside the old barrow beside the garden wall Bloom daffodils who nod their heads to all Asters and poppies, daisies and bells of every kind As delightful a small space as you will ever find She said that after, wed sit and chat about the day's delights, and dream the waning afternoon away Her garden was so much a joy in her later years I cannot recall our garden party without a happy tear......
