My Lovely Garden The tulip, jas’min, emony, and rose, Of which we’ll garlands for thy head compose. Nature to make my fountain, did its part, Which ever flows without the help of Art, A faithful mirror shall its water be, Where thou may’sit beneath a shady tree. -Philip Ayers 1638

Gentle Stream Glide, gentle streams, and bear Along with you’re my tear To that coy girl Who smiles, yet slays Me with delays; And strings my tears as pearl. - Robert Herrick 1591

A white Rose The red rose whispers of passion, And the white rose breathes of love; O, the red rose is falcon, And the white rose is a dove. But I send you a cream-white rosebud With a flush on it’s petal tips; For the love that is purest and sweetest Has a kiss of desire on the lips. -John Boyle 1844

Out of these three poems, what one do you feel captures the feeling of a true, beautiful garden?
