The Foxglove Lyrics by George Whitefield Chadwick

A Flower Cycle

0

In grandmamma's garden in shining rows
The box smells sweet as it trimly grows;
The sun-dial quaint the hours tells
'Mid foxgloves tall with spotted bells;
And all is dear, and all is fair
As childhood's self had dwelling there

In grandmamma's garden a child I played
With naught save bees to make afraid;
I counted the spots on the foxglove's cheek
And knew it could tell, if it would but speak
How cunning fairies painted them
And made each like a shining gem

In grandmamma's garden the foxgloves gay
With every wind would nod and sway;
Full well I knew that they were wise
And watched with childhood's eager eyes
To see them whisper each to each
And catch the secrets of their speech

In grandmamma's garden still I walk
And still the foxgloves seem to talk
Their speech not yet my manhood learns
But when I see them youth returns;
I wonder at them still in vain
But with them am a child again
