The garden is planted and growing!

PLANT A GARDEN

by Edgar Guest

If your purse no longer bulges

And you've lost your golden treasure,

If times you think you're lonely

And have hungry grown for pleasure,

Don't sit by your hearth and grumble,

Don't let mind and spirit harden.

If it's thrills of joy you wish for

Get to work and plant a garden!

If it's drama that you sigh for

Plant a garden and you'll get it.

You will know the thrill of battle

Fighting foes that will beset it.

If you long for entertainment

And for pageantry most glowing

Plant a garden and this summer,

Spend your time with green things growing.
