Inscription for a Garden Gate


Pause, friend, and read before you enter here
This vine-clad wall encloses Holy Ground.
  Herein a mellowed garden dreams
                           away the years.
Steeped in serene, sweet light
                    and muted sound.
Herein tranquility and peace abide.
  For God walks here at cool of
                               evening-tide.
Pause, friend, and strip from out
                                     your heart
All vanity, all bitterness, all hate:
Quench, for this hour, the fever
                            of your fears.
Then, treading softly, pass within
                                   this gate.
There, where the ancient trees wait,
                            hushed and dim.
May you find God, and walk awhile with Him.
