THE APPLE-JELLY FISH-TREE, by HILDA CONKLING Poet's Biography
First Line: Down in the depths of the sea
Last Line: Where fish so shining come to play!
First Line: Down in the depths of the sea
Last Line: Where fish so shining come to play!
DOWN in the depths of the sea
Grew the Apple-Jelly-Fish-Tree.
It was named by a queer old robber
And his mates three.
I watched it for a second,
I watched it for a day.
It did not change color
For its colors stay.
It was as red, as yellow, as white, as blue
As gold and stones with the light through!
I watched it long and long
Till a flying sunfish
Swam through its branches.
He had opal wings
And a sapphire tail.
No wonder robbers like to stay
Where fish so shining come to play!
