lirik lagu ghizela rowe - amy lowell - planning the garden
bring pencils, fine pointed
for our writing must be infinitesimal;
and bring sheets of paper
to spread before us
now draw the plan of our garden beds
and outline the borders and the paths
correctly
we will scatter little words
upon the paper
like seeds about to be planted;
we will fill all the whiteness
with little words
so that the brown earth
shall never show between our flowers;
instead, there will be petals and greenness
from april till november
these narrow lines
are rose~drifted thrift
edging the paths
and here i plant nodding columbines
with tree~tall wistarias behind them
each stem umbrella’d in its purple fringe
winged sweet~peas shall flutter next to pansies
all down the sunny centre
foxglove spears
thrust back against the swaying lilac leaves
will bloom and fade before the china asters
smear their crude colours over autumn hazes
these double paths dividing make an angle
for bushes
bleeding hearts, i think
their flowers jigging
like little ladies
satined, hoop~skirted
ready for a ball
the round black circles
mean striped and flaunting tulips
the cl~stered trumpets of yellow jonquils
and the sharp blue of hyacinths and squills
these specks like dotted grain
are coreopsis, bright as bandanas
and ice~blue heliotrope with its sticky leaves
and mignonette
whose sober~coloured cones of bloom
scent quiet mornings
and poppies! poppies! poppies!
the hatchings shall all mean a tide of poppies
crinkled and frail and flowing in the breeze
wait just a moment
here’s an empty sp~ce
now plant me lilies~of~the~valley —
this pear~tree over them will keep them cool —
we’ll have a lot of them
with white bells jingling
the steps
shall be all soft with stone~crop;
and at the top
i’ll make an arch of roses
crimson
bee~enticing
there, it is done;
seal up the paper
let us go to bed and dream of flowers
