Nature Outdone



The Public Garden is abloom,
     With flowers rich and fair;
And everywhere a deep perfume,
     Pervades the summer air.
But as I watch the Boston birds
     About the garden swarm.
With tinted cheeks and flowered heads,
I think the fairest posy beds
     Are those in human form.
