A native of Ireland<\/p>\n
as green as can \u00a0 be<\/p>\n
Prunus Spinosa<\/p>\n
a wild plum, \u00a0of a tree<\/p>\n
the berries named Sloes<\/p>\n
after Autumns harsh frost<\/p>\n
taste a whole lot better<\/p>\n
Within that bitterness lost<\/p>\n
it feels like barbed wire<\/p>\n
such a thorny intent<\/p>\n
a very hard wood<\/p>\n
as a hedge it is bent<\/p>\n
on being able<\/p>\n
to withstand a deal<\/p>\n
of weather and \u00a0animals<\/p>\n
Coming to heel<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
used by the dyers<\/p>\n
and medicinals too<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
there are hints of cyanide<\/p>\n
thus one must view<\/p>\n
and take heed of this poison<\/p>\n
For \u00a0one\u2019s own sake<\/p>\n
it be the fairies<\/p>\n
the lunantishees \u00a0take<\/p>\n
who may punish anyone<\/p>\n
who damages \u00a0trees<\/p>\n
old Beltaine Eve<\/p>\n
a date if you please<\/p>\n
