A garden is a lovesome thing, God wot! <br /> Rose plot, <br /> Fringed pool, <br /> Ferned grot-- <br /> The veriest school <br /> Of peace; and yet the fool <br /> Contends that God is not-- <br /> Not God! in gardens! when the eve is cool? <br /> Nay, but I have a sign; <br /> 'Tis very sure God walks in mine.<br /><br />Thomas Edward Brown<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-garden-2/
