The Poem . I . All the world's a stage, says Shakespeare, f'-And every man and Woman but a player, But to .my mind, the world's a garden, And every maiden isa Hovver there. 2. This garden of the World-so infinite- Is made by little gardens, side by side, But separated each from each by paths Stretching between, and reaching far and wide. 4 3 - . One smallest garden, Where my thoughts are turned Is but a class of girls to common eyes, But in the poet's fancy, 'tis a spot Where loveliest ilovvers midst dew--strewn leaves arise . 4- And there no weariness of sameness is, For every Hower is of its kind alone- t D'ff ' 1 erent from all the rest, yet, of the kinds , N Scarce one is to the observing world unknown, Q. 18

5 For some of them, perhaps, it daily sees In all its gardens-bright and tall they grow, Forever tossing, swaying in the winds, That all the world their gloriousness may know 6. A few are dear old-fashioned ones, Scarce now and so the greater treasure, They are not less attractive, but more modestly Employ their priceless gift of Giving Pleasure, 7. Among all these, and small in size 'and value, Cluster the tiny buds, who patient wait Their share of notice, knowing that they, too, Shall come to bloom some day, if soon or late. 8. Each kind of ilower, gay or sweet or lowly, Has its own merits. The buttercup so smart In dress, so saucy in her manner, Conceals pure gold within her honest heart. 19
