My Little Garden

My Garden

The world is sadly sick, they say,

And plagued by woe and pain

But look! How looms my garden gay,

With blooms in golden reign!

With lyric music in the air,

Of joy fulfilled in song.

I can't believe that anywhere
Is hate and harm and wrong.

A paradise my garden is

And they my day is spent;

A sleep myself in sunny bliss,

Incredibly content

Feeling that I am truly part

Of peace so rapt and still,

There's not care in my heart...

How can the world be ill?

Aye, thought the land be sick they say,

And named into pin,

My garden never was so gay,

So innocent, so sane.

My rose mocked at misery,

My thrushes vie in song

When only beauty I can see,

How can the world be wrong?

- Robert Service
