tenessee thomas - the garden lyrics

Loading...

[intro]
the garden by mark strand
for robert penn warren

[verse]
it shines in the garden
in the white foliage of the chestnut tree
in the brim of my father’s hat as he walks on the gravel
in the garden, suspended in time, my mother sits in a redwood chair
light fills the sky, the folds of her dress, the roses tangled beside her
and when my father bends to whisper in her ear, when they rise to leave and the swallows dip and soar and the moon and stars have drifted off together, it shines
even as you lean over this page, late and alone, it shines
even now in the moment before it disappears
