/ There a tattered marigold / And dead asters manifold, / Showed him where the garden old / Of time bloomed: / Briar and thistle overgrew / Corners where the rose once blew, / Where the phlox of every hue / Lay entombed.
/ Here a coreopsis flower / Pushed its disc above a bower, / Where once poured a starry shower, / Bronze and gold: / And a twisted hollyhock, / And the remnant of a stock, / Struggled up, 'mid burr and dock, / Through the mold.
