Glory of the Garden - by Rudyard Kipling 

‘The Glory of the Garden’. So wrote Rudyard Kipling in his 1911 poem The Glory of the Garden, with its ages old image of a kingdom, state or community as a garden, with all its accompanying connotations of natural growth and development, seasonal change, decay and rebirth.
