Granny, Granny, Your Garden Is Running Away




Lost Garden
by Janet Lewis

 

reading by Carole Heine


reading by Joan Haas                                                                                                                                             

Children asleep in deep meadows.

Young popples

Grew round the house

And a wasp nest hung in the door,

Silvery like logs.

Garden mint and sweet william

Lost in the flowing grass.

Granny Cadotte, Granny Cadotte,

Your garden is running away!
