A garden bower in flower
Grew waiting for God's hand:
Where no man ever trod,
This was the Gate of God.
The first bower was red -—
Her lips which "welcome" said.
The second bower was blue -—
Her eyes that let God through.
The third bower was white -—
Her soul in God's sight.
Three bowers of love
Now Christ from Heaven above.
