I	A
	-
Who has not felt his heart leap up and glow	B
What time the Tulips first begin to blow	B
Has one sweet joy still left for him to know	B
	-
It is like early love's imagining	C
That fragile pleasure which the Tulips bring	C
When suddenly we see them in the Spring	C
	-
Not all the garden's later royal train	D
Not great triumphant Roses when they reign	D
Can bring that delicate delight again	E
	-
II	A
	-
One of the sweetest hours is this	F
Of all I think we like it best	G
A little restful oasis	F
Between the breakfast and the post	H
Just south of coffee and of toast	H
Just north of daily task and duty	I
Just west of dreams this island gleams	J
A fertile spot of peace and beauty	I
	-
We wander out across the lawn	K
We idle by a bush in bloom	L
The household pets come following on	M
Or if the day is one of gloom	L
We loiter in a pleasant room	L
Or from a casement lean and chatter	N
Then comes the mail like sudden hail	O
And off we scatter	N
	-
III	A
	-
When Roses die in languid August days	P
We leave the garden to its fallen ways	P
And seek the shelter of wide porticoes	P
Where Honeysuckle in defiance blows	P
Undaunted by the sun's too ardent rays	P
	-
The matron Summer turns a wistful gaze	P
Across green valleys back to tender Mays	P
And something of her large contentment goes	P
When Roses die	A
Yet all her subtle fascination stays	P
To lure us into idle sweet delays	P
The lowered awning by the hammock shows	P
Inviting nooks for dreaming and repose	P
Oh restful are the pleasures of those days	P
When Roses die	A
	-
IV	-
	-
The summer folk fled back to town	Q
The green woods changed to red and brown	Q
A sound upon the frosty air	R
Of windows closing everywhere	R
	-
And then the log lapped by a blaze	P
Oh what is better than these days	P
With books and friends and love a near	S
Go on gay world but leave me here	T
