Love in an Herb Garden<\/strong><\/center>
<\/center>
<\/center>
Under September’s temperate Westering sun<\/center>
The garden slumbers and is overrun<\/center>
Where the sun was bright as goldenrod<\/center>
We found that love’s the only garden God.<\/center>
\u00a0<\/center>
<\/center>
I was the scarlet runner who ran down<\/center>
Your columbine, no sage was I but clown,<\/center>
A common fennel, wild in a wild thyme,<\/center>
Who comfrey found to salsify his prime.<\/center>
\u00a0<\/center>
<\/center>
You were my lovage – sweet as coriander<\/center>
You were my applemint and my pomander;<\/center>
Your maidenhair unshorn, your aspect calm<\/center>
And to my catmint stare your eyes were balm.<\/center>
\u00a0<\/center>
<\/center>
Alas, a black horehound was on our track<\/center>
Wormwood and baneberry launched their attack<\/center>
My love lay bleeding then and turned to rue<\/center>
And where the basil shone, the mugwort grew.<\/center>
\u00a0<\/center>
<\/center>
The celandine deflowered and shrivelled up<\/center>
Elder and bitter bane were in my cup<\/center>
Angelica whose colours had been fine<\/center>
Turned nicotine – as did my columbine.<\/center>
\u00a0<\/center>
<\/center>
And yet when Spring with customary rain<\/center>
Wakens the herbs, I know we will love again<\/center>
And in the middle of the brick lined town<\/center>
The God of gardens turn us upside down.<\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
