THE APRICOT TREE, by                    
First Line: The tree stretched high
Last Line: Her beauty all too lavish?
Subject(s): Apricot Trees; Trees


The tree stretched high
Shining as the sky,
Her blossoms raising
Like stars brightly blazing.

A zephyr blew,
And methought it threw
Pebbles at her flowers,
Strewing them in showers.

Did heaven incite
Out of jealous spite
The wind to ravish
Her beauty all too lavish?
