Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD BEBEFGFG BHBHIJI| MY hollyhocks are all awake | A |
| And not a single rose is lost | B |
| My wallflowers for dear pity's sake | A |
| Have fought the winter's cruel frost | B |
| Pink peony buds begin to peer | C |
| And flags push up their sword blades fine | D |
| I know there will not be this year | C |
| A brighter garden plot than mine | D |
| - | |
| - | |
| I'll sow the seeds of mignonette | B |
| Of snapdragon and sunflowers tall | E |
| And scarlet poppies I will set | B |
| To flower against the southern wall | E |
| Already all my lilies show | F |
| The green crowns baby lilies wear | G |
| And all my flowers will grow and blow | F |
| Because Love's hand has set them there | G |
| - | |
| - | |
| I'll plant and water sow and weed | B |
| Till not an inch of earth shows brown | H |
| And take a vow of each small seed | B |
| To grow to greenness and renown | H |
| And then some day you'll pass my way | I |
| See gold and crimson bell and star | J |
| And catch my garden's soul and say | I |
| 'How sweet these cottage gardens are ' | - |
