There is a temple in my heart
Where moth or rust can never come,
A temple swept and set apart
To make my soul a home.
And round about the doors of it
Hang garlands that for ever last,
That gathered once are always sweet;
The roses of the Past!
I am busy working to bring A. Mary F. Robinson's "Temple Garlands" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about A. Mary F. Robinson's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "Temple Garlands" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
