On a solitary day,
the little garden with its tree
of ripe oranges beneath a blue sky
is its own enchantment
while the children are in school,
one or two doves visit the tree
of mid-December’s Christmas ornaments 
suspended in the garden
which hides the secret treasury
of winter food, squirreled away
By Squire Nutkin in flower boxes and pots 
Snug in the little garden.
