“O, the mulberry-tree is of trees the queen! Bare long after the rest are green; But as the time steals onwards, while none perceives Slowly she clothes herself with leaves-- Hides her fruit under them, hard to find. . . . . But by and by, when the flowers grow few And the fruits are dwindling and small to view-- Out she comes in her matron grace With the purple myriads of her race; Full of plenty from root to crown, Showering plenty her feet adown. While far over head hang gorgeously Large luscious berries of sanguine dye, For the best grows highest, always highest, Upon the mulberry-tree.” LongHardGrowsViewsRaceGraceTreeFeetFlowerClothesHighestRootsGreenFruitStealingPlentyPerceiveQueensCrownsPurpleBerriesSanguineMulberry Author:Dinah Maria Murlock Craik
