I am your garden,
Cultivate me.
...............
Clear out all the doubt-weeds,
Burn all the fear, ...........
Feed me with tenderness.
And water me carefully
With measured out time.
............ ......
Neglect will not endear me.
Good husbandry uses only limed
Heated and readied ground,
Which never needs
Fencing around.......
Tended, I will stay in line.
.............
So cultivate boundaries
Smoothe indeed, .........
And waiting for seed
Will be soil, that ploughed,
Will fruit and flower again.
..............................
You will certainly be amazed.
Spoilage will never becloud
Our horizon.................
Nectar you'll sip.......... daily.
Flora will bless with yield
Such a fine garden.
Please husband me wisely,
Then she can visit again.
