Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDEC FGGF HIIH JKKL MNNM NOON| THERE is a grey walled garden far away | A |
| From noise and smoke of cities where the hours | B |
| Pass with soft wings among the happy flowers | B |
| And lovely leisure blossoms every day | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| There tall and white the sceptral lily blows | C |
| There grow the pansy pink and columbine | D |
| Brave hollyhocks and star white jessamine | E |
| And the red glory of the royal rose | C |
| - | |
| - | |
| There greeny glow worms gem the dusky lawn | F |
| The lime trees breathe their fragrance to the night | G |
| Pink roses sleep and dream that they are white | G |
| Until they wake to colour with the dawn | F |
| - | |
| - | |
| There in the splendour of the sultry noon | H |
| The sunshine sleeps upon the garden bed | I |
| Where the white poppy droops a drowsy head | I |
| And dreams of kisses from the white full moon | H |
| - | |
| - | |
| And there some days all wild with wind and rain | J |
| The tossed trees show the white side of their leaves | K |
| While the great drops drip from the ivied eaves | K |
| And birds are still till the sun shines again | L |
| - | |
| - | |
| And there all days my heart goes wandering | M |
| Because there first my heart began to know | N |
| The glories of the summer and the snow | N |
| The loveliness of harvest and of spring | M |
| - | |
| - | |
| There may be fairer gardens but I know | N |
| There is no other garden half so dear | O |
| Because 'tis there this many many a year | O |
| The sacred sweet white flowers of memory grow | N |
