Appearances

I hated them when I was four years old, 
The bright pink berries on the pepper tree. 
And now they seem quite beautiful to me. 
My tower of dreams when I was four years old 
Was such a tree. Its branches hid me well, 
Although I so disliked the berries' smell. 
I had my dreams when I was four years old . . . 
But groundling now, who once could mount in air, 
I judge the high-swung bright pink berries, fair.
