Who shall inquire of the season,
Or question the wind where it blows?
We blossom and ask no reason
The Lord of the Garden knows.
We are the roadside flowers,
Straying from garden grounds,
Love of idle hours,
Breakers of ordered bounds.
The writings, poetry and journals of my grandmother, Harriet Eleanor Niles.
Who shall inquire of the season,
Or question the wind where it blows?
We blossom and ask no reason
The Lord of the Garden knows.
We are the roadside flowers,
Straying from garden grounds,
Love of idle hours,
Breakers of ordered bounds.
