HERB - "Hortulus" -"Rue"

[RAISYA@aol.com]

Here's a short one - Raisya

"V.  Rue

	Here is a shadowed grove which takes its color
>From the miniature forest of glaucous rue.
Through its small leaves and the short umbels which rise
Like clusters of spears it sends the wind's breath
And the sun's rays down to its roots below.
Touch it but gently and it yields a heavy
Fragrance.  Many a healing power it has -
Especially, they say, to combat
Hidden toxin and to expel from the bowels
The invading forces of noxious poison."
