Emily's Garden

from Kindly Eyes by Kindly Eyes

/

lyrics

‘Look back on Time, with kindly eyes
He doubtless did his best
How softly sinks his trembling sun
In Human Nature’s West’

Walk gently through your memories
Select the sweetest blooms
And tend the garden of your life
To yield it's fine perfumes

And though the weeds, unbidden, come
To spoil your humble plot
If carefully plucked while still quite small
Are very soon forgot

For Time, a restless gardener, is,
An undiscerning hand
He welcomes all, both weed and flower,
In rich and fertile land

But at the closing of the day
You gaze upon the view
And glad you'll be for all your toil
When final breaths imbue

‘Look back on Time, with kindly eyes
He doubtless did his best
How softly sinks that trembling sun
In Human Nature’s West’
