The Italian Cypress

I do like the Italian cypress it is such a nice small garden tree So skinny yet pretty to look at it does seem attractive to me Ideal for the small town garden as it does take up so little space That is the great beauty of Nature for everything there is a place In the winds it bends like a bamboo and even powerful gales it can withstand The pencil pine or Italian cypress feels at home in almost every Land So frail looking and yet so sturdy of Nature's ways I am in awe Her wonders are all around us the one who lives by her own law The ideal tree for a small garden it does have a charm of it's own It can grow in most soils without any attention for it's hardiness it is well known So different from other species of cypress not abundant but also not rare So tall and so slender and dainty a garden tree beyond compare At home in the little town garden by a wall or a house often seen The skinny yet hardy Italian cypress a pretty to look at evergreen.
