THE ARBUTUS SELLER, by                    
First Line: Into the city on this april day
Last Line: To bring unto the famished town his beauty!
Subject(s): Merchants


Into the city on this April day --
From greening woods to wintry highways bending,
He passes with arbutus-laden tray,
A wealth of fragrance every step attending.
An angel unawares is in this clod;
His ceaseless, clamorous cry is his soul's duty --
This vender comes, ambassador from God,
To bring unto the famished town His beauty!
