In A Climate Hot A Palm-Tree Dreams Of A Fir-Tree Longingly Poem by Terence George Craddock

the single fir-tree solitary grows windswept lonely
upon a mountain height stood out against the light
in winter storms severe sleeps in a blanket of white
looks cool draped in snow ice cloaked in a winter coat;
he dreams not of the dazzling stars above nor the valley below
he dreams not of the northern lights an awesome spectral show
sky in flames of polar lights the fir-tree does not want to know
an aurora polaris borealis compares not to a palm-tree showy;
dream a palm-tree growing in tropical heat is sexy palm leaf hot
to a pining fir-tree solar lights in distant starry heavens hot is not
a steamy palm-tree in frond greenery is salty desert fox curvy;
the palm-tree in far eastern lands weeps hot alone silent solitary
for a single fir-tree solitary growing so cold windswept lonely
in a climate hot not cold a palm-tree dreams of a fir tree longingly;
