...on their steepling hollyhocks,
    Bee's balsams, feathery southernwood, and stocks,
    Fiery dragon's-mouths, great mallow leaves
    For salves, and lemon-plants in bushy sheaves,
    Shagged Esau's-hands with five green finger-tips.
    Such old sweet names are ever on their lips.

    Proud of their wisdom when on gooseberry shoots
    They stuck eggshells to...Read more of this...

...of
That her man exists: that gamelans and tumbrils
Won't evade her. But now, among 
The kitchen garden's rose-haws, mallow, Pernod- 
Coloured pears, she unhooks herself thorn by thorn 
For the exit aria. For fade-out. Suddenly there he is
