And fenced their gardens with the Redman’s bones;”

She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree;
But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

Leaving the gardens tidy,
The thousands of marriages
Lasting a little while longer:
Never such innocence again.”
