Intro
Square stone garden, map in hand,
Four gates marked across the land.
Verse 1
North and east and south were clear.
Where was west? No gate was near.
Vines made one green wall appear.
No bright handle could be seen.
Chorus
Find the pattern, one-two-three.
What repeats is our best key.
Round stone posts on every side
Point to what the leaves may hide.
Verse 2
Two round posts peeked through the vine.
With permission, move one line.
Wooden edge and leafy latch—
There the hidden gateway matched.
Final Chorus
Four gate pairs around the square,
Lavender was waiting there.
Look around the thing you seek.
Nearby patterns help us peek.
