Verse seen in a garden
Please can someone give me the full version of a poem often seen on stones in gardens. It ends with:
'you are nearer God's heart in a garden than anywhere else on earth.' |

Re: Verse seen in a garden
As on many Sundays when thinking about the garden I am reminded of my one of my favourite misquotes; namely "Closer to God in a garden than anywhere else on earth."
It's a misquote because the quote should actually be the 4th verse from a poem by Dorothy Frances Gurney that goes a little something like this: "The kiss of sun for pardon, The song of the birds for mirth, One is nearer God’s heart in a garden Than anywhere else on earth." A quote from here http://frarys-fresh-flowers.blog.co....here--4475485/
