Poems (Scudder)/An Old Garden
AN OLD GARDEN
Foxgloves wax-white,
Pale yellow columbines,
African daisies with their velvet hearts
Rimmed twice around with fiery gold,
And peonies—
Pale yellow columbines,
African daisies with their velvet hearts
Rimmed twice around with fiery gold,
And peonies—
That splash their snow
Crimson and sunrise pink
Quite recklessly, and tall sweet-flags and wee
Button-shaped roses, and again,
More peonies.

Quite recklessly, and tall sweet-flags and wee
Button-shaped roses, and again,
More peonies.
