As the Ebony Tree Falls


 

A kiss of sweet Daisy
 
Till the Ebony Tree falls
 
The Heleniums flow
 
And the Dead Leaves crawl
 
The field of Cypress covers her
 
Dogsbane within her heart
 
Dahlia runs through her blood
 
And with White Lily must she part
 
The Lucern is sure to leave her soon
 
For her Rose's fate has been sealed
 
Her Marigolds have finally bloomed
 
And she now lies still in her Cypress field
 
Yellow Tulips always grow
 
And prove Carolina Roses true
 
Poor girl allowed White Dittany in
 
Do not let such vines reach you
 
Because Roses were meant to pass
 
And the Ash tree decay
 
Beech trees only live for so long
 
Till Iceland Moss begins to go astray
