Youclouds that with the wind your wardenFlying toward the Channel go,Or ever the frost your fruit shall hardenTo hail and sleet and driving snow,Go seek one sunny old sweet garden—An English garden that I know.Therein perchance my Mother, strayingAmong her dahlias, shall seeYour rainy gems in sunlight swayingOn flower of gold and emerald tree.Then in her heart feel suddenlyOld love and laughter, like sunshine playingThrough tears of memory.
