I love a still conservatoryA
That's full of giant breathless palmsB
Azaleas clematis and vinesC
Whose quietness great Trees becalmsC
Filling the air with foliageD
A curved and dreamy statuaryA
-
I like to hear a cold pure rillE
Of water trickling low afarF
With sudden little jerks and purlsC
Into a tank or stoneware jarF
The song of a tiny sleeping birdG
Held like a shadow in its trillE
-
I love the mossy quietnessC
That grows upon the great stone flagsC
The dark tree ferns the staghorn fernsC
The prehistoric antlered stagsC
That carven stand and stare amongH
The silent ferny wildernessC
-
And are they birds or souls that flitI
Among the trees so silentlyA
And are they fish or ghosts that hauntJ
The still pools of the rockeryF
For I am but a sculptured rockK
As in that magic place I sitI
-
Still as a great jewel is the airF
With boughs and leaves smooth carved in itI
And rocks and trees and giant fernsC
And blooms with inner radiance litI
And naked water like a nymphL
That dances tireless slim and bareF
-
I watch a white Nyanza floatM
Upon a green untroubled poolN
A fairyland Ophelia sheA
Has cast herself in water coolN
And lies while fairy cymbals ringO
Drowned in her fairy castle moatM
-
The goldfish sing a winding songP
Below her pale and waxen faceC
The water nymph is dancing byQ
Lifting smooth arms with mournful graceC
A stainless white dream she floats onR
While fairies beat a fairy gongP
-
Silent the Cattleyas blazeC
And thin red orchid shapes of DeathS
Peer savagely with twisted lipsC
Sucking an eerie phantom breathS
With that bright spotted fever'd lustT
That watches lonely travellers crazeC
-
Gigantic mauve and hairy leavesC
Hang like obliterated facesC
Full of dim unattained expressionU
Such as haunts virgin forest placesC
When Silence leaps among the treesC
And the echoing heart deceivesC
