THE BLACKBERRY BUSH by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: BEHOLD, ABOVE THE HIDDEN ROOT
Last Line: HOW BRIGHT THE DAY, HOW DARK THE NIGHT!
Subject(s): BLACKBERRIES;
Behold, above the hidden root
How white the bloom, how black the fruit!
Of Time, forever out of sight,
How bright the day, how dark the night!
