Sing sweet notes, oh pure ebony bird
Awaken the glory of the garden
In the dawn of a summers morning

Catch first rays, oh myriad of flowers
Reflect the glory of the garden
With your rainbow filled display

Billow from capture, oh Egyptian sheets
Fly in the glory of the garden
Release your fresh air of cleanliness

Throw water droplets, oh bubbling fountain
Cool the glory of the garden
In the peacefulness of your pool

Seek the seductive nectar, oh Painted Lady
Pollinate the glory of the garden
As you flit from flower to flower to flower

Purr in rhythmic sound, oh rolling blade
Highlight the glory of the garden
In long swathes of alternating green

Parasol of leaves, oh Walnut tree
Extend the glory of the garden
In jade-speckled sweeping shade

Raise slowly to lips, oh china cups
Relax in the glory of the garden
Complimenting the lightness of sponge

Busy yourself in loyalty, oh worker bee
Penetrating the glory of the garden
In servitude to your reigning queen

Run home from school, oh children three
Revel in the glory of the garden
In tee-shirt, shorts and cotton dresses

Swoop in lightness, oh glossy swallow
Feast on the glory of the garden
With tail streaming agility

Fall sweet and soft, oh shower of rain
Refresh the glory of the garden
With purity of glistening silver

Sneak cautiously, oh red russet creature
Visitor to the glory of the garden
Relish the scattering hand of kindness

Snuffle the earth, oh spiny urchin
Feeding from the glory of the garden
On a plethora of invertebrates

Glide silently, oh ghostly bird
Across the glory of the garden
In just a whisper of a breath

Hush now, oh sweet fragrances
Dream in the glory of the garden
Embrace the warmth of a summer’s night
