ORIGINAL. 



The East may boast of orange blooni, 



Of cypress and of laurel, 

 AnrI we will boast of yellow broom, 



And of orchards rich and floral. 

 Eastern blooms and foliage fair. 



Are of the rainbow s dapple. 

 In England blossom everywhere 



The pear, the plum, the apple. 

 Then boast who will 



Of trees in spring array 

 We still 



Have blossoms fair as they. 



The East may boast of citron tree, 



That yields so fair a flower, 

 Of lilac's sweet scent on the lea, 



When freshened by a shower. 

 They boast of lemons and of pine. 



We of our mellow cherry. 

 They of their spice and juicy wine, 



And we our delicious berry. 

 Then boa.st who will 



Of trees and fruit so gay, 

 We still 



Have fruits as sweet as they.
