Read the Poem

The Garden Keeps a Secret

Behind the wall, the gate swings wide, While morning gathers on the vine. An apple tree lets sunlight through; The leaves turn gold, then green, then blue. A robin stitches notes of song Across the path where violets grow. The roses hold the rain like glass, And tell the quiet hours to pass. I leave the gate as I came in— The garden keeps its secret grin.
