XXIX. The Happy Dead
In a Garden

By Henry Charles Beeching (1859–1919)


ROSE and lily, white and red
From my garden garlanded,
These I brought and thought to grace
The perfection of thy face.

Other roses, pink and pale,	5
Lilies of another vale,
Thou hast bound around thy head
In the garden of the dead.
