("Locheven")
Would you choose / The formal garden / With lilac hedges / And vistas of velvet lawn / And marble fountain / Shining pool and / Marble bench o'er-topped / By drooping willow; / Massed color in trim beds, / And stately garden house / Festooned with wisteria / And guarded by strutting peacock?
