My Garden in May.

"Pause friend and read before you enter here. This old stone wall encloses hallowed ground. Here in a mollowed garden dream away the years steeped in serene, sweet light, and muted sound. Here in traquility peace abide.

"For God walks here at cool of evening tide.

"Pause, friend, and strip from out your heart all vanity, all bitterness, all hate. Quench for this hour, the fewer of your fears. Then treading softly pass with-in this gate, there, where the ancient trees wait, hushed and dim, May you find God and walk awhile with with Him."
