A garden is so lovely that
A lady should be there
With rosy cheeks and smiling lips
And sunlight on her hair.
And she should lend an ear to birds
That chatter to each other;
And turn glad shining eyes to those
Who run in calling, "Mother!"
The lady should be lovelier
Than birds and children, too.
And lovelier than flowers! You see,
I know because of you!
