The Palm Tree and The Poppy. 
 
 The Palm Tree and The Poppy, 
 
 The one so trim and true, 
 
 The other just a little thing 
 
 The soft winds fluttered through. 
 
 They looked upon the ocean 
 
 That flung its salty breath, 
 
 They looked upon the mountains 
 
 Where snow and ice meant* death, 
 
 "How happy" said the Palm Tre 
 
 "You and I should be", 
 
 "Between such avenues of death, 
 
 Those mountains and the sea", 
 
 The poppy then reflected 
 
 And tossed her golden head. 
 
 "If P -. 'ie I.lTh, if Death ride low, 
 
 i was thus the Poppy said 
 Ai\d I should ride between 
 I naturally would then expect 
 The luster and the sheen 
 Of something very fine indeed 
 For Ice, and Cold, and Snow, 
 Must strike a balance somewhere else- 
 And THAT'S the road WE go." 
 
 Laurence Edward Innes.
