Text: Go, flitting plume of dandelion down, / Across the meadow, passing by the mill; / Nor pause among the pastures on the hill; / On wings of scented zephyrs lightly blown, / Until thou reach the dim and smoky town: / Nor let the narrow street obstruct thy will; / Then drop upon the weathered window sill / Of the sad sempstress by hard toil foredone, / And tell her of the vale that once she knew / Through which the babbling streamlet used to pass; / Of morning meadows grey with pearls of dew, / The rushy pool of dark and liquid glass,- / The summer sky - a boundless world of blue, / Of orchards old, and fields knee-deep in grass. / W. Davies -

Text: A GARDEN IS A LOVESOME THING. GOD WOT! ROSE-PLOT, FRINGED POOL, FERN'D GROT-THE VERIEST SCHOOL OF PEACE; AND YET THE FOOL CONTENDS THAT GOD IS NOT: NOT GOD! / IN GARDENS! WHEN THE EVE IS COOL? NAY, BUT I HAVE A SIGN: TIS VERY SURE GOD WALKS IN MINE - T.E. BROWN
