We planted rose and daffodil,
Flowers that English poets sing,
And hoped for glory in the Spring.

And humble sweetly-smelling stocks,
And columbine for carnival,
And dreamt of Summer's festival.
And Autumn not to be outdone
As heiress of the summer sun,
Should doubly wreathe her tawny head
With poppies and with creepers red.

But love was all that ever grew. — Vita Sackville-West
