Ode to Herbs

Oh Herbs, jewels of the earth!
Thy gifts so divine!
Oh joy! You feed me and mine.
You bring bliss to mine heart
And cleanse body and soul.
How can I choose my one true love?
Nay can I, and so shall I not.
In my treasure trove ye all shall go!
My apothecary will grow and grow;
My pantry will bulge with thine harvest!
I shall not be without thee,
Mine herbs so dear, so beloved, so pure!
