Indian Coral Tree
Floating in the misty white fog
Like hushed Viking longships at sea...
Are the radiant red flowers agog
Blooming on the Indian coral tree.
Seated like oars of the longship
On the leafless silver bark tree...
Are the bright crimson flowers crisp
Blooming on the Indian coral tree.
With their cheer, making my heart sing,
In the bleakness of winter's sea...
Are these beacons of hope for spring,
Blooming on the Indian coral tree.
Floating in the misty white fog...
Blooming on the Indian coral tree...
