Last Line: From the assembly of my thoughts and days.
Variant Title(s): In An Oxford Garden
Subject(s): Gardens & Gardening; Oxford, England
As one whose road winds upward turns his face
Unto the valleys where he late hath stood,
Leaning upon his staff in peace to brood
On many a beauty of the distant place,
So I in this cool garden pause a space,
Reviewing many things in many a mood,
Accumulating friends in solitude
From the assembly of my thoughts and days.
