Portrait of an Old Lady

Early one morning- as I went a-walking I met an old lady so stately and tall, The red of her cheeks gave a quiver of pleasure Like the sight of red hollyhocks by a grey wall. Fragrance of lavender clung to her, telling Of linen piled high on immaculate shelves ; You could fancy her tending her garden or strolling Among the proud roses that grow by themselves. When I am sorrowful, dreading the future, Dreaming of days when my hair shall be grey, It cheers me to think of that lovely old lady, Lavender-haunted and hollyhock-gay.
