RED EUCALYPTUS BLOSSOMS
A flame of scarlet Flares in the tree-tops; It spreads like wild-fire
And runs crackling over The blue-green leaves.
TI-LE JACARANI)A
The purple breeze Sings through the jacaranda And wings away, Leaving the shadowvs to flower.
THE OLIVE TREE
lBranches of blowving rain, Of gray-winding winds, Of twNilight brooding.
13OUGAINVILLEA
Garlanids of royal purple: Prouid, re.(al notes of pageantry Souinding imperial color: A fanfare of trumpets
Triumphant , barbaric: Bells and chimes and cvmnbals Clanainm crimson.
