—;—;"the garden yields |
A soft amusement, an humane delight. |
To raise th' insipid nature of the ground, |
Or tame its savage genius to the grace |
Of careless sweet rusticity, that seems |
The amiable result of happy chance, |
Is to create, and give a god-like joy, |
Which ev'ry year improves." |
Armstrong.
