Poems

TWO GARDENS

From the December 1903 issue of The Christian Science Journal


One has a wall so very high,
They dream not of roses, the passers-by,
And a gardener watches with wary eye,
Lest children the fragrance scent, and pry.

And one has no wall, the children play
In the rose-scented air the live-long day,
And men who pass on their weary way
Pause to adore, perhaps to pray.
