Oh, Adam was a gardener, and God who made him sees
That half a proper gardener's work is done upon his knees,
So when your work is finished, you can wash your hands and pray
For the Glory of the Garden, that it may not pass away!
And the Glory of the Garden it shall never pass away!

~ Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936) The Glory of the Garden.


"I keep six honest serving-men
   (They taught me all I knew);
Their names are What and Why and When
   And How and Where and Who."

~ Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936)
