Oh, Orange Tree

Oh, orange tree,

Your bark adorned

With wicked-looking

Three-inch thorns,

Needle-sharp

Each one of them

Protruding both

From branch and stem,

Perhaps you want

To pierce the hand

Outstretched by

Some unwary man,

That he may not pick

Nor may not eat

Your fruit that is

So very sweet.
