To make it glad with a goodly crop: Even so One Wiser deals with me: -- Amen, say I: if He choose to lop Branch after branch of my leafed tree, In its own ripe season more fruit shall be. Tenfold fruit in the time of fruit, In the time of corn and wine and oil, Sound at the core, firm at the root; Repaying the years and years of toil, Repaying the blood that fed the soil. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PROBLEM OF DESCRIBING TREES by ROBERT HASS THE GREEN CHRIST by ANDREW HUDGINS MIDNIGHT EDEN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN REFLECTION OF THE WOOD by LEONIE ADAMS THE LIFE OF TREES by DORIANNE LAUX IT IS FINISHED' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI ITALIA, IO TI SALUTO!' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE HEART KNOWETH ITS OWN BITTERNESS' (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
