Patterns

 I walk down the garden-paths, 

And all the daffodils 

Are blowing, and the bright blue squills. 

I walk down the patterned garden-paths 

In my stiff, brocaded gown.

Pattern. As I wander down  

The garden-paths. 

My dress is richly figured, 

And the train 

Makes a pink and silver stain …

From Patterns by Amy Lowell, born 9 February 1874
