The Garden

The gate through which I enter stands full wide, Welcoming the visitor as though with silent pride, "Come look at me" it seems to say " if you have time to while away, If you enjoy a quiet day, or if you need to hide", "If you should need to be alone to weep, or speak aloud a secret you must keep, Come, sit within my corner's nook, in solitude,to read your book, For time, it is so swiftly took, before the need for sleep".
