In Praise Of A Bride

Graceful and young the peach-tree stands;

    How rich its flowers, all gleaming bright!

  This bride to her new home repairs;

    Chamber and house she'll order right.

  Graceful and young the peach-tree stands;

    Large crops of fruit it soon will show.

  This bride to her new home repairs;

    Chamber and house her sway shall know.

  Graceful and young the peach-tree stands,

    Its foliage clustering green and full.

  This bride to her new home repairs;

    Her household will attest her rule.
