Time & Brevity
Temple Garlands
From The Home Book of Verse, ed. Burton Egbert Stevenson (1912)
Time & Brevity
There is a temple in my heart
Where moth or rust can never come,
A temple swept and set apart,
To make my soul a home.
And round about the doors of it
Hang garlands that forever last,
That gathered once are always sweet,
The roses of the Past!
