Garden of the Heart

"Let us, then, plant

with diligence and care
the garden of the soil,

but let us, with far deeper
earnestness, tend the

garden of our hearts."

~ from The Cottage Gardener, 1849 ~

Sweet Yellow Primroses

Voice of Spring

"Come, I come! ye have

called me long, I come o'er the

mountain with light and song:
Ye may trace my step o'er the

wakening earth, by the winds

which tell of the violet's birth,

by the primrose-stars in the

shadowy grass, by the green

leaves, opening as I pass."
