NUMBER:7671
AUTHOR:Thomas Edward Brown (1830–1897)
QUOTATION:A Garden is a lovesome thing, God wot!
      Rose plot,
      Fringed pool,
      Ferned grot,
The veriest school of Peace; and yet the fool contends that God is not—
Not God! in Gardens! when the eve is cool?
Nay, but I have a sign:
’T is very sure God walks in mine.
ATTRIBUTION:My Garden.
