VII The Crowned Christ Reigning
(Revelation, Chapters xx: 4-xxii.)
“On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve fruits.”
“A garden is a lovesome thing, God wot!
Rose plot,
Fringed pool,
Ferned grot—
The veriest school
Of peace; and yet the fool
Contends that God is not—
Not God! in gardens! when the eve is cool?
Nay, but I have a sign;
’Tis very sure God walks in mine.”
