My Mother's Garden - 1930

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK 04 Aug 2001

Oldfashioned flowers
In the twilight's glow,
Recall the happy hours of childhood,
Long ago.
Each passing springtime,
Anywhere I roam,
Unlocks a little rustic gate
That leads back home.

My Mother's garden
I picture in memory,
A humble bit of earth
That she made heavenly,
Around her doorway
Their fragrance still lingers on.
Tho' all the little flow'rs
She loved the best are gone,
Oh! how proud she used to be
Of her roses.
As night would begin,
She'd tuck them all in
And count their noses.
Of all her beautiful flow'rs to see,
Who'd ever think she'd grow
A lowly weed like me!

A scented dew drop
Fell to earth each day,
From tender blossoms
That adorned the month of May.
To ev'ry bower
Came a bumble bee,
'Twas heaven
In my Mother's garden nursery.

My Mother's garden
I picture in memory,
A humble bit of earth
That she made heavenly,
Around her doorway
Their fragrance still lingers on.
Tho' all the little flow'rs
She loved the best are gone,
Oh! how proud she used to be
Of her roses.
As night would begin,
She'd tuck them all in
And count their noses.
Of all her beautiful flow'rs to see,
Who'd ever think she'd grow
A lowly weed like me!
