There was a garden for a mile

just for you and me;

sit with me for awhile,

while the lilies weave by the sea.

By the mossy shore, the ocean sighs,

where a covert cove hides,

its fingers upon the harpsichord;

resplendent is the light through the plank boards.

Wait with me for a tear

while I echo here—

spirits weaving a basket into a braid,

sit here, while I am afraid. 

--Emily Isaacson, Hallmark
