Quote #15

There is a garden where lilies And roses are side by side; And all day between them in silence The silken butterflies glide.

More from Francis Turner Palgrave

  1. Kiss and cling to them, kiss and leave them, Bright and beguiling:- Bright and beguiling, as She who glances Along the shore and the meadow…
  2. I may not enter the garden, Though I know the road thereto; And morn by morn to the gateway I see the children go.
  3. The Sun whispers, O remember! You have but thirty days to run, O sweet September!
  4. They bring back light on their faces; But they cannot bring back to me What the lilies say to the roses, Or the songs of the butterflies be.
  5. Follow, O follow!-and we follow
  6. The monument outlasting bronze was promised well by bards of old.
  7. In the hollow Silver voices ripple and cry Follow, O follow!
  8. Our hope is less to last through Art than deeper searching of the heart, than broader range of uttered truth.
