Misty roses, red
with pink haze, orange lilies;
Lilac promenade.
Purple pansies on the porch,
dusk soon to carry the torch.

'At last' roses, peach
chocolate cosmos, shrouded,
Yellow daisies smile.
Gardens loved to distraction,
yet hold a strong attraction.

Blue irises, blurred
and black cherry carnations,
near green hydrangeas.
Subdued belles wear nature's veil
in hued dawn, of small detail.
