Beyond the Primrose Hedge
By Cinara
Beyond the Primrose Hedge If you should ever wander forth Beyond the garden’s edge And leave this place of bounty love Where we have laid our heads Then I shall never wish to breathe The perfume of a rose Nor gather blossoms for my eyes Nor worship joy’s repose For life would vanish if you left This nest of Eden home This space profuse with radiant hues Below God’s azure dome Without your love, I’d never more Recline in petals soft To study midnight’s canopy Of planets posed aloft If you should disappear one day Beyond the primrose hedge For want of just one wishful step Outside the garden’s edge I’d never care to turn an ear To warbler’s lullaby Nor would I raise my eyes again To wonders of the sky I’d never visit with a star Except to ask it why Written February 25th, 2002 © on Feb 25 2002 09:55 AM PST 0 • 8
