Padraic Colum - LaburnumsPadraic Colum - Laburnums
Work rating: Low


OVER old walls the Laburnums hang cones of fire; Laburnums that grow out of old mould in old gardens: Old maids and old men who have savings or pensions have Shuttered themselves in the pales of old gardens. The gardens grow wild; out of their mould the Laburnums Draw cones of fire. And we, who`ve no lindens, no palms, no cedars of Lebanon, Rejoice you have gardens with mould, old men and old maids: The bare and the dusty streets have now the Laburnums, Have now cones of fire!
