Beacon Hill in Boston in Suffolk County, Massachusetts — The American Northeast (New England)
Garden of Remembrance
Time touches all more gently here,
here where man has said, No:
trees and grass, and flowers will remain,
where the first born sometimes sees
his father's eyes
reflected in the shallow pool,
feels an ancient heart beat
in the palm of his hand
pressed against a willow;
and seeking comfort, seeking shade
lies beneath the golden leaf elm
watching swanboats glide in season.
