THE GUM

Blue green in the filtering sun by day, Or black against the sundown's fir e, Or silver-robed 'n eath the dim white ray of the moon, as she glides her ghostly way, While w e stand below, and admire;

Or at morn, when the green leaves glisten with dew, Or clustered , dance in the airy breeze , At all times the gum stands straiglit and true, With green leaves old, and red leaves new ; The loftiest, proudest of trees .
