The Cedar
A beautiful cedar developed easily,
Planted in my garden so peacefully.
A striking exemplar in deep verdant green.
Keeps my delightful backyard nice and clean.
Reddish scented tall upright virgin wood
One needs to study its habit and understood.
No one should think of pruning without learning
One must be sage and be more discerning.
Evergreen framework, growing highly incensed,
An unpleasant-tasting resin, a squirrel’s defence.
Pollination takes place in Autumn,
Until Summer cones shed their blossom.
Rustic stance to universal view wonderful
Look, is not the garden now more colourful?
How tall it grows, how fragrant is its bark
And yet beneath its branches, it’s cool and dark
