Edith Nesbit - Seed-Time And Harvest
Work rating: Low

MY hollyhocks are all awake, 
    And not a single rose is lost; 
My wallflowers, for dear pity`s sake, 
    Have fought the winter`s cruel frost; 
Pink peony buds begin to peer, 
    And flags push up their sword-blades fine: 
I know there will not be this year 
    A brighter garden plot than mine. 


I`ll sow the seeds of mignonette, 
    Of snapdragon and sunflowers tall, 
And scarlet poppies I will set 
    To flower against the southern wall; 
Already all my lilies show 
    The green crowns baby lilies wear, 
And all my flowers will grow and blow, 
    Because Love`s hand has set them there. 


I`ll plant and water, sow and weed, 
    Till not an inch of earth shows brown, 
And take a vow of each small seed 
    To grow to greenness and renown: 
And then some day you`ll pass my way, 
    See gold and crimson, bell and star, 
And catch my garden`s soul, and say: 
    "How sweet these cottage gardens are!"
