THE PEAR TREE by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "THIS SHADE-BESTOWING PEAR-TREE, THOU"
Last Line: BENEATH IT PAUSED THE DUKE OF SHAOU
Subject(s): PEAR TREES;TREES; PEARS;
THIS shade-bestowing pear-tree, thou
Hurt not, nor lay its leafage low;
Beneath it slept the Duke of Shaou.

This shade-bestowing pear-tree, thou
Hurt not, nor break one leafy bough;
Beneath it stayed the Duke of Shaou.

This shade-bestowing pear-tree, thou
Hurt not, nor bend one leafy bough,
Beneath it paused the Duke of Shaou.
