The Tuberose (Night Violet or Dame’s Violet)
by Thomas Moore
The tuberose, with her silvery light,
That in the gardens of Malay
Is called the Mistress of the Night,
So like a bride, scented and bright;
She comes out when the sun's away.
Note:
Thomas Moore was an English poet and the Chelsea Physic Garden Curator

Words inspired by the garden are the sweetest, most beautiful words of all.
