A new life of the season
That haunts the Mayflower gardens
I keep my vigil high
No one is nearer than death
Alaska rides and sky high buildings
The topmost is nearer to me
My garden is full of sweet marvel
As I gazed upon the peonies high
The merry go round of life is at my hand
To know that dream like state
Where pansies grew upon the hedgehog smile.
