The Seed Shop -- Muriel Stuart

Another random discovery from the Poet's Corner...
(Poem #1840) The Seed Shop
 Here in a quiet and dusty room they lie,
 Faded as crumbled stone or shifting sand,
 Forlorn as ashes, shrivelled, scentless, dry -
 Meadows and gardens running through my hand.

 In this brown husk a dale of hawthorn dreams;
 A cedar in this narrow cell is thrust
 That will drink deeply of a century's streams;
 These lilies shall make summer on my dust.

 Here in their safe and simple house of death,
 Sealed in their shells, a million roses leap;
 Here I can blow a garden with my breath,
 And in my hand a forest lies asleep.
-- Muriel Stuart
           (1922)

There's nothing excitingly brilliant about this poem, but it gives me a
certain quiet pleasure, both for the imagery and for the 'feel' of the verse
itself. There is a soothing consistency in the rhythm and word choices, and
some genuinely beautiful lines - it would be a lovely poem to print in an
almanac, for instance, or in a collection of 'fireside poetry'.
