From the Book of Poetry – The Gardener
Here is a poem I got out of the A Child’s Garden of Verses. The book is compiled of poetry and is authored by Robert Louis Stevenson. It’s about gardening. How it suits me. haha! It’s very homesteady. I thought you would all enjoy it; I did.
The Gardener
The gardener does not love to talk,
He makes me to keep the gravel walk;
And when he puts his tools away,
He locks the door and takes the key.
Away behind the currant row
Where no one else but cook may go,
Far in the plots, I see him dig,
Old and serious, brown and big.
He digs the flowers, green, red, and blue,
Nor wishes to be spoken to.
He digs the flowers and cuts the hay,
And never seems to want to play.
Silly gardener! summer goes,
And winter comes with pinching toes,
When in the garden bare and brown
You must lay your barrow down.
Well now, and while the summer stays,
To profit by these garden days,
O how much wiser you would be
To play at Indians wars with me!
Enjoyed this piece of poetry? Leave a comment and tell me!
Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
I hope you have enjoyed reading the thoughts and happenings of a fifteen-year-old girl from the country. “You can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens you!” Philippians 4:13
That is really cute!
