Lost Garden ~ by Janet Lewis
Children asleep in deep meadows.
Young popples
Grew round the house
And a wasp nest hung in the door,
Silvery like logs.
Garden mint and sweet william
Lost in the flowing grass.
Granny Cadotte, Granny Cadotte,
Your garden is running away!
Janet Lewis. Poems Old and New 1918-1978. Swallow Press, Ohio University Press, Chicago, IL, 1982 p.20
