I strolled around the garden
I rambled and I wandered
I drifted through the pasture
I wondered and I pondered
The flowers were fairly bursting
With shades in every hue
Marigolds, nasturtium
Bee balm, salvia too
Lettuce, beans and spinach
Tomatoes on the vine
Lovage growing taller
Amaranth and thyme
The beauty of the orchard
The lovely, charming fedge
The wonder of the pasture
The life at the pond’s edge
My cup, it runneth over
My life is pure delight
No sunset with its beauty
Can dim this lovely sight
Bee Balm
Nasturtium
Marigold
Beans
Okra
