1.
Beside cool streams or shady lanes;
I toss my shining tresses;
My skin contains an anodyne;
Which name would you consider mine?
I offer you four guesses. |
|
2.
I offer fruit, I offer flowers;
At every stage together;
With pleasure viewed;
I am imbued
With sweetness in warm weather.
|
|
3.
With gleaming gold salute the skies;
When autumn touches me;
My dreaming spires;
Are much admired;
But which of these is me?
|
|
4.
I once repelled the mischief;
Of many a wicked sprite;
With berries round;
I may be found;
Guarding you by night. |
|
5.
Greatest tree of southern lands;
Tallest plant that ever flowers;
Shy in gullies, and remote;
A blooming giant you may note;
Stalwart, here I tower. |
|
6.
A spreading, shady tree am I;
In temperate climes I like to dwell;
My nuts fall from their shining cases;
Staining fingers, staining faces;
And, like my leaves, release a spicy smell. |
|
7.
At Christmas time I have my day;
I prick unwary fingers;
My berries red;
Above your head;
Suggesting carol singers |
|
8.
My limbs are fair as any nymph;
My trunk is silver, too;
My catkins small;
Turn brown and fall;
All damp in morning dew.
|
|
9.
In southern springtime I am gold;
Dark foliage Midas-touched;
I make you sneeze;
I hum with bees;
Retiring? Me? Not much!
|
|
10.
With creamy scented candles;
I was in spring well crowned;
Spiky shells;
Around me fell;
My gleaming nuts abound |
