The garden of roses
M. Lang
There is a garden of roses far away to the east,
Where a maiden lies asleep;
The roses have no thorns in that garden,
And they grow softly about her
And make a pillow for her fair head.
A blustering wind came once and nearly waked her,
But she was so beautiful that he fell deep in love;
And he turned into the softest breeze
That ever fanned a woman's cheek in summer,
For fear lest he should trouble her sleep.
