Ficus
Of what complacence every morning now Our unpretentious garden is the scene!
But yesterday to transports we were moved By our young Omi-Kin-Kan’s coronal.
Today our infant Turk his leafy sprouts restrains, And duly offers us one small plump fig.
From a Garden in the Antipodes (Sidgwick & Jackson, 1929)
