Her Garden
Donald Hall
 
 
               I let her garden go. 
                            let it go, let it go 
        How can I watch the hummingbird 
                    Hover1 to sip 
                    With its beak's tip 
 The purple bee balm -- whirring as we heard 
                    It years ago?
 
               The weeds rise rank and thick 
                            let it go, let it go
        Where annuals grew and burdock grows. 
                    Where standing2 she 
                    At once could see 
 The peony, the lily, and the rose 
                    Rise over brick 
 
               She'd laid in patterns. Moss 
                            let it go, let it go
        Turns the bricks green, softening3 them 
                    By the gray rocks 
                    Where hollyhocks 
 That lofted4 while she lived, stem by tall stem, 
                    Dwindle5 in loss.
