A Handful of Lavender (Classic Reprint)

With sharpened gables high in air, And deep-set lattices, all gay With massive arch and framework rare; And oer it is a silence laid, That feeling, one grows sore afraid. The eaves are dark with heavy vines; The steep roof wears a coat of moss; The walls are touched with dim designs Of shadows moving slow across ;T he balconies are damp with weeds, Lifting as close as streamside reeds. The garden is a loved retreat Of melancholy flowers, of lone And wild-mouthed herbs, in companies sweet, Mid desolate green grasses thrown j And in its gaps the hoar stone wall Lets sprays of tangled ivy fall.
