Edith Nesbit - Child`s Song In Spring
Work rating: Low

THE silver birch is a dainty lady, 
    She wears a satin gown; 
The elm tree makes the old churchyard shady, 
    She will not live in town. 


The English oak is a sturdy fellow, 
    He gets his green coat late; 
The willow is smart in a suit of yellow, 
    While brown the beech trees wait. 


Such a gay green gown God gives the larches-- 
    As green as He is good! 
The hazels hold up their arms for arches 
    When Spring rides through the wood. 


The chestnut`s proud, and the lilac`s pretty, 
    The poplar`s gentle and tall, 
But the plane tree`s kind to the poor dull city-- 
     love him best of all!
