Quote #16

I may not enter the garden, Though I know the road thereto; And morn by morn to the gateway I see the children go.

More from Francis Turner Palgrave

  1. There is a garden where lilies And roses are side by side; And all day between them in silence The silken butterflies glide.
  2. 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.
  3. 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…
  4. The monument outlasting bronze was promised well by bards of old.
  5. The Sun whispers, O remember! You have but thirty days to run, O sweet September!
  6. Our hope is less to last through Art than deeper searching of the heart, than broader range of uttered truth.
  7. Follow, O follow!-and we follow
  8. Shakespeare's stage must hold the glass to every age.
