Old Fashioned Garden

~~ In an old fashioned garden behind a stone wall Hollyhocks and sunflowers growing so tall Red rambling roses drape over a fence Old fashioned flowers with colours intense. Lupins and larkspur in lilac display Buddleia blooming where butterflies play Surrounding moonflower whose petals unfold A bright splash of starburst, marsh marigold Herbaceous borders, rosemary and rue Columbines and clover full damp with the dew Scents long forgotten their perfumes endow I loved them long ago, I love them now These old fashioned flowers, I planted them all, In an old fashioned garden behind a stone wall ~~
