Medieval Mizmazes were nine circuit labyrinths of raised turf paths and thought to have been used by monks for exercise and meditation. The interpretation at Mount Ephraim has been to flank the turf paths not with bare earth but with ornamental grasses and herbaceous perennials, which creates a delightful meadow effect blending into the pastoral landscape beyond. Here is another photo of mine that shows how it looks from higher ground: https://www.flickr.com/photos/-cherrypie-/2481117946/in/set-72157623100227660 I am glad you enjoyed it :-)

The second version on the link you gave changes the whole tone of it. I much prefer the one you have quoted above. That is a nice poem, I had not come accross it before.
