Gardening Quotes

 

Come into the garden, Maud,
For the black bat, night, has flown,
Come into the garden, Maud,
I am here at the gate alone;
And the woodbine spices are wafted abroad,
And the musk of the rose is blown.
For a breeze of morning moves,
And the planet of Love is in high,
Beginning to faint in the sky that she loves
On a bed of Daffodil sky.
                            (Tennyson)

 

The kiss of the sun for pardon,
The song of the birds for mirth,
One is nearer God’s heart in a garden
Than anywhere else on Earth.

But so with roses overgrown,
And lilies, that you would it guess
To be a little wilderness.

Yes, Colonel, but never with a Daffodil!
