The sun drenched darlings of every garden ,
gathered bright eyed ,
Gay and tinted as village lasses in their gingham gowns ,
spraying lovely brightness and flair in the red roofed cottaged towns.

Phloxes carry the garden through the dog days of summer ,
holding down the fort
until the asters and blazing stars come on board .
Such dainty and colourful picture the nature can paint ,
A keepsake, serene album so quaint !
