A Library in a Garden
From English Poems (1895)
Arts & Sciences
'A Library in a garden! The phrase seems to contain the whole felicity
of man.'--Mr. EDMUND GOSSE in Gossip in a Library.
A world of books amid a world of green,
Sweet song without, sweet song again within
Flowers in the garden, in the folios too:
O happy Bookman, let me live with you!
