Like golden lamps in a green night,

And does in the pomegranates close

Jewels more rich than Ormus shows;

He makes the figs our mouths to meet,

And throws the melons at our feet;

But apples plants of such a price

No tree could ever bear them twice.

With cedars, chosen by His hand

From Lebanon, He stores the land,

And makes the hollow seas, that roar,
