WHEN THE ORCHARDS BLOOM IN GRAND VALLEY.
BY DIR. e. F. ELDRIDGE

The Goddess of Nature with lavish DEVOTION
Has oft clothed the landscape with verdure and howers
But before her gifts half 30 regal,
Since Eden first bloomed in this valley Of ours.
From the mouth of the to the edge OF the DESERT
From the foot of old Pnon high rearing her head
To the cliffs that arise like walls for protection
Our vale is in bloom like a mighty rosebed.
The flowers filling the air with their fragrance
Will paint the cheek OF the fruit on the bough
And wealth will be hung on the heavy lade branches
That blush in their beauty and fragrance, now.
Our "acres" of orshards have to be thousands,
Their beauty indeed is sight to behold
our dwellings hidden by blossoms,
That presage a harvest Of treasures untold
A harvest of uit-red, golden and purple,
More luscious than dates from the banks Of the Nile,
Or of figs from the hills of the ancient Judea
That met the beams of the Masters sweet smile
May the blessings it brings like the odor OF flowers
Be lovingly spread with a bountiful hand,
Until like fruit for its flavor and beauty
deeds shall be DER the breadth OF the land
