A Prison Garden.

MY ample needs in garden seeds Now occupy my mind.

I simply pant to go and plant A peck of every kind.

The pumpkin vine, I think is fine, To yams I also lean;

I fairly love the fine points of The onion and the bean.

The marrowfat must grace my plat, I want the squash and leek.

For early roots and thrifty shoots Assiduously I seek.

I want the pieplant and the prune, The radish and the beet.

But how can I plant all this in A plat of four square feet? —Selected.
