THE GREEN PALM TREE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I sat under a delicate palm tree
Last Line: To laughter!


I SAT under a delicate palm tree
On a shore of sounding waves.
I felt sure I was alone,
Listening.
A sea-gull flew by from France,
A sea-gull flew by from Spain,
A sea-gull flew by from Mexico!
I laughed softly
When they saw me:
It was those travelers
From foreign countries
Changed my thoughts
To laughter!
