Tried By Fire

Title:     Tried By Fire
Author: Ruth McEnery Stuart [More Titles by Stuart]

De sugar-cane stands so proud an' smart,
You'd nuver suspicion it sweet at de heart,
But to prove its sweets it yields its will
To be tried by fire an' ground in de mill.
An' it ain't by itself in dat, in dat--
No, it ain't by itself in dat.

[The end]
Ruth McEnery Stuart's poem: Tried By Fire
