Midnight Garden











Largely inspired by the lateness of the hour, and the wonderful book by Philippa Pearce

Midnight Garden

Midnight and chimes begin to ring
The grandfather clock strikes thirteen
A door opening into a world unseen
Times past and present together bring

The past holds firm, remains to cling
A garden lost in time, what has been
Midnight and chimes begin to ring
The grandfather clock strikes thirteen

Into the garden, a girl upon a swing
Flower beds, walls, a wondrous scene
Dreams of the past, what can it mean?
Time unfolds like a coiled spring
Midnight and chimes begin to ring
