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.
