Gardens

Gardens
(Agnes Mure MacKenzie)

cho: For days work and weeks work, as I go up and down
     There are many gardens all about the town
     For days work and weeks work as I go up and down
     There are many gardens all about the town

One that's gay with daffodils
One where children play
One that's white with cherry flowers
Another red with May
CHO

A kitten and a lilac bush
Bridal white and tall
And later crimson ramblers
Against a granite wall
CHO

I have passed your railings
When you never knew
And people who have gardens
I give my thanks to you
CHO

recorded by the McCalmans

As to authorship etc., the "real" title is "To People Who Have Gardens", air fro
m Marion Macleod of Eigg, arranged for voice and piano by Marjory Kennedy-Fraser
--among her Songs of the Hebrides collection. I have the sheet music from Boosey
 & Co., copyright 1921. The words are by the novelist and historian Agnes Mure M
acKenzie of Stornoway. MS
