TO THE PEACH BLOSSOM, by                    
First Line: A single blossom, brightly moist with dew
Last Line: Be glad for wealth with dual power to bless!
Subject(s): Fruit; Peaches


A single blossom, brightly moist with dew,
Reveals in perfect symmetry and grace
Of structure, form and lightly varied hue
Such beauty as no human art can trace.
Broad acres, blossom-covered, lift the face
Of earth toward heaven, feasting every eye
On glory not surpassed in time or space
By splendors seen in earth or sea or sky.
But harbingers of more than beauty lie
Behind this marvel, transient though sublime;
The petaled gems must fade away and die
That luscious fruit may follow them in time.
Rejoice, fair land in bright peach blossom dress!
Be glad for wealth with dual power to bless!
