All still and dim the house has been
Shadowed against the furious sun
And I have missed my dearest one
Her lovely face I have not seen.
But I have seen the things she made
The places where she always goes
Items and objects which she chose
The garden – her own magic glade.
So in this richness I have spent
An afternoon of rare delight
With thoughts of your return tonight –
What rich life-blessings I’ve been sent!
