\nMakes its mark
\nOn the flowers, and the misty morning grieves
\nOver fallen leaves;
\nThen my olden garden, where the golden soil
\nThrough the toil
\nOf a hundred years is mellow, rich, and deep,
\nWhispers in its sleep.<\/p>\n
\nWhere the box
\nBorders with its glossy green the ancient walks,
\nThere’s a voice that talks
\nOf the human hopes that bloomed and withered here
\nYear by year,–
\nDreams of joy, that brightened all the labouring hours,
\nFading as the flowers.<\/p>\n
\nBut relief
\nFor the loneliness of sorrow seems to flow
\nFrom the Long-Ago,
\nWhen I think of other lives that learned, like mine,
\nTo resign,
\nAnd remember that the sadness of the fall
\nComes alike to all.<\/p>\n
\nAnd what prayers
\nFor the silent strength that nerves us to endure
\nThings we cannot cure!
\nPacing up and down the garden where they paced,
\nI have traced
\nAll their well-worn paths of patience, till I find
\nComfort in my mind.<\/p>\n
\nYet how near
\nIs the tender voice, the careworn, kindly face,
\nOf the human race!
\nLet us walk together in the garden, dearest heart,
\nNot apart!
\nThey who know the sorrows other lives have known
\nNever walk alone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n.<\/div>\n![\"IMG_7726\"](\"https:\/\/pathoftreasure.files.wordpress.com\/2018\/10\/img_7726.jpg\")
