Inspired! Not my garden, per se, but in our yard. :-) She slept beneath a tree Remembered but by me. I touched her cradle mute; She recognized the foot, Put on her carmine suit, And see! -Emily Dickinson, "The Tulip." Oh, tiptoe from the garden By the garden of the willow tree And tiptoe through the tulips with me. Knee deep in flowers we'll stray We'll keep the showers away And if I kiss you in the garden, in the moonlight Will you pardon me? And tiptoe through the tulips with me. -Al Dubin (Written as a song for a movie, then used by singer Tiny Tim).
