QUARRELS, by NAOMI REYNOLDS
First Line: Didn't we meet in a garden, love
Last Line: That is john's or pete's or abie's.
Subject(s): Love - Beginnings

Didn't we meet in a garden, love,
A garden of crimson roses,
Where the sounds of the city are silences,
And the old policeman dozes?

All I can find is a mangy park,
Swarming with dogs and babies
Quarreling over a withered rose,
That is John's or Pete's or Abie's.
