EUCALYPTUS, by GRACE REINI

First Line: Tattered shreds of wind-blown dress
Last Line: Why must clothing hide a tree?
Subject(s): Eucalyptus Trees
Tattered shreds of wind-blown dress
Reveal your naked loveliness.
Castanetted fingers play
Rhythmic dance to white limbs' sway.
Their garments reaching to the grass,
Frowning kindred say, "Alas!"
Ragged beauty -- happy, free --
Why must clothing hide a tree?
