Secret Garden

I have a place where no one else can go

The ivy curtain hides the door and so

There are almost none who know

There is a tree, a crocus, a rose

Behind that wall where no one goes

I have a place I am safe from harm

Nothing can disturb me or cause me alarm

But when it comes to this garden, its peculiar charm

Is that I take it with me wherever I go

For where you tend a rose, a thistle cannot grow
