Pomegranate

Richard Butler Glaenzer

POMEGRANATE, how prodigal

Is the hour of your giving!

The apple-nymph basks, content

To apportion her tribute—

Blossoms and incense to Spring,

Substance to Fall;

But you—you lift up

In one riotous offering

The fruit with the flower,

Moons interclustered with stars.

Dryad, impulsive or vain,

Is it fervor or weakness?

Who can dazzle Apollo!
