Meeting Of The Berkshire Horticultural Society At Stockbridge September	A
	-
Scarce could the parting ocean close	B
Seamed by the Mayflower's cleaving bow	C
When o'er the rugged desert rose	D
The waves that tracked the Pilgrim's plough	C
	-
Then sprang from many a rock strewn field	E
The rippling grass the nodding grain	F
Such growths as English meadows yield	E
To scanty sun and frequent rain	F
	-
But when the fiery days were done	G
And Autumn brought his purple haze	H
Then kindling in the slanted sun	G
The hillsides gleamed with golden maize	H
	-
The food was scant the fruits were few	I
A red streak glistening here and there	J
Perchance in statelier precincts grew	I
Some stern old Puritanic pear	J
	-
Austere in taste and tough at core	K
Its unrelenting bulk was shed	L
To ripen in the Pilgrim's store	K
When all the summer sweets were fled	L
	-
Such was his lot to front the storm	M
With iron heart and marble brow	C
Nor ripen till his earthly form	M
Was cast from life's autumnal bough	C
	-
But ever on the bleakest rock	N
We bid the brightest beacon glow	O
And still upon the thorniest stock	N
The sweetest roses love to blow	O
	-
So on our rude and wintry soil	P
We feed the kindling flame of art	Q
And steal the tropic's blushing spoil	P
To bloom on Nature's ice clad heart	Q
	-
See how the softening Mother's breast	R
Warms to her children's patient wiles	S
Her lips by loving Labor pressed	R
Break in a thousand dimpling smiles	S
	-
From when the flushing bud of June	T
Dawns with its first auroral hue	I
Till shines the rounded harvest moon	T
And velvet dahlias drink the dew	I
	-
Nor these the only gifts she brings	U
Look where the laboring orchard groans	V
And yields its beryl threaded strings	U
For chestnut burs and hemlock cones	V
	-
Dear though the shadowy maple be	W
And dearer still the whispering pine	X
Dearest yon russet laden tree	W
Browned by the heavy rubbing kine	X
	-
There childhood flung its rustling stone	X
There venturous boyhood learned to climb	Y
How well the early graft was known	X
Whose fruit was ripe ere harvest time	Y
	-
Nor be the Fleming's pride forgot	Z
With swinging drops and drooping bells	A2
Freckled and splashed with streak and spot	Z
On the warm breasted sloping swells	A2
	-
Nor Persia's painted garden queen	X
Frail Houri of the trellised wall	B2
Her deep cleft bosom scarfed with green	X
Fairest to see and first to fall	B2
	-
	-
	-
When man provoked his mortal doom	C2
And Eden trembled as he fell	D2
When blossoms sighed their last perfume	C2
And branches waved their long farewell	D2
	-
One sucker crept beneath the gate	E2
One seed was wafted o'er the wall	B2
One bough sustained his trembling weight	E2
These left the garden these were all	B2
	-
And far o'er many a distant zone	X
These wrecks of Eden still are flung	F2
The fruits that Paradise hath known	X
Are still in earthly gardens hung	F2
	-
Yes by our own unstoried stream	G2
The pink white apple blossoms burst	H2
That saw the young Euphrates gleam	G2
That Gihon's circling waters nursed	H2
	-
For us the ambrosial pear displays	H
The wealth its arching branches hold	I2
Bathed by a hundred summery days	H
In floods of mingling fire and gold	I2
	-
And here where beauty's cheek of flame	J2
With morning's earliest beam is fed	L
The sunset painted peach may claim	J2
To rival its celestial red	L
	-
	-
	-
What though in some unmoistened vale	K2
The summer leaf grow brown and sere	L2
Say shall our star of promise fail	K2
That circles half the rolling sphere	L2
	-
From beaches salt with bitter spray	M2
O'er prairies green with softest rain	X
And ridges bright with evening's ray	M2
To rocks that shade the stormless main	X
	-
If by our slender threaded streams	N2
The blade and leaf and blossom die	O2
If drained by noontide's parching beams	N2
The milky veins of Nature dry	O2
	-
See with her swelling bosom bare	J
Yon wild eyed Sister in the West	R
The ring of Empire round her hair	J
The Indian's wampum on her breast	R
	-
We saw the August sun descend	P2
Day after day with blood red stain	X
And the blue mountains dimly blend	P2
With smoke wreaths from the burning plain	X
	-
Beneath the hot Sirocco's wings	U
We sat and told the withering hours	Q2
Till Heaven unsealed its hoarded springs	U
And bade them leap in flashing showers	Q2
	-
Yet in our Ishmael's thirst we knew	X
The mercy of the Sovereign hand	R2
Would pour the fountain's quickening dew	X
To feed some harvest of the land	R2
	-
No flaming swords of wrath surround	S2
Our second Garden of the Blest	R
It spreads beyond its rocky bound	S2
It climbs Nevada's glittering crest	R
	-
God keep the tempter from its gate	E2
God shield the children lest they fall	B2
From their stern fathers' free estate	E2
Till Ocean is its only wall	B2
