T'was just a garden in the rain

Close to a little leafy lane

A touch of color 'neath skies of gray

The raindrops kissed the flower beds

The blossoms raised their thirsty heads
A perfumed thank you they seemed to say

Surely here was charm beyond compare to view
Maybe it was just that I was there with you

T'was just a garden in the rain
But then the sun came out again

And sent us happily on our way
Photos taken at Brandywine Park in Wilmington, Delaware,
October 2007.
Words by Carroll Gibbons and James Dyrenforth, 1928.
