163. The Lover Sings of a Garden

By Helen Hoyt


OH, beautiful are the flowers of your garden,
The flowers of your garden are fair:
Blue flowers of your eyes
And dusk flower of your hair;
Dew flower of your mouth	5
And peony-budded breasts,
And the flower of the curve of your hand
Where my hand rests.
