OCTAVES IN AN OXFORD GARDEN: 24. RESTORATION, by ARTHUR W. UPSON Poet's Biography

First Line: To one tired heart I said: if it be true
Last Line: That once in many a labyrinth was your clew.
Subject(s): Gardens & Gardening; Oxford, England
To one tired heart I said: If it be true
That, in the sad much-winding of your ways,
Your thread is broken out of other days,
And you know not what joy is lost to you,
I pray you, turn aside awhile and through
This quiet garden think on some old place
Dear to the child you were, and that loved face
That once in many a labyrinth was your clew.
