Blessings to the Gardener


                                 Blessings to the gardener                                     
Who turns his back to the rain,
Who bends his  knee to soil and stone,
Whose quiet hands,
Cracked and black with juices
The robin loves.
Whose master is daylight,
Whom the moon allows,
Who searches the skies,
 Whose hunger tells the time.
Whose blade is sharp
Who knows a spell
For every blight and blow,
Whose work folk attribute to God,
Who turns the loam to flowers..
