The Queen of the garden
pampered, powdered, perfumed 
her ancestor
kidnapped in China 
a century ago
by an enthusiastic agent 
panning for agricultural gold.
Its spindly boughs of the idle rich 
dripping 
canary yellow diamonds 
scrubbed of autumn’s…

The Queen of the garden
pampered, powdered, perfumed
her ancestor
kidnapped in China
a century ago
by an enthusiastic agent
panning for agricultural gold.
Its spindly boughs of the idle rich
dripping
canary yellow diamonds
scrubbed of autumn’s
streaky sooty tears
destined for jarred preservation
to make even the most spoilt sultan
swoon.

A saltbox house is an example of early American colonial architecture. It’s wooden frame sports a long, pitched roof that slopes down to the back, with just one story in the back and two stories in the front. Legend has it that the saltbox form was popularized by Queen Anne’s taxation of houses greater than one story. Since the rear of the roof descended to the height of a single-story building, the structure was exempt from the tax.
The flat front and central chimney are recognizable features, but the asymmetry of the unequal sides and the long, low rear roof line are the most distinctive features of a saltbox, which takes its name from its resemblance to a wooden lidded box in which salt was once kept.

“Feel I’m goin’ back to Massachusetts
Something’s telling me I must go home
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
The day I left her standing on her own,
Tried to hitch a ride to San Francisco
Gotta do the things I wanna do
…

“Feel I’m goin’ back to Massachusetts
Something’s telling me I must go home
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
The day I left her standing on her own,
Tried to hitch a ride to San Francisco
Gotta do the things I wanna do
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
They brought me back to see my way with you.
Talk about the life in Massachusetts
Speak about the people I have seen
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
And Massachusetts is one place I have seen.
I will remember Massachusetts.”

Written by Maurice Ernest Gibb, Max Wittmann, Robin Hugh Gibb, Barry Alan Gibb (1967)
