Southern Beauty
She is the bloom of southern trees,
A flower in fair maiden's hair.
Pure, white, and delicate one sees
Her in that season of the year
Nestling among the dark green leaves.
Her petals smooth, and soft as silk
Caressing the morning dew drops.
As fresh and white as whitest milk.
Her blooms are few, but loved a lot.
Once plucked, she soon begins to wilt.
