Unit -2 -Poem – Trees

Banyan is the largest of trees,

The Peepul quivers in the breeze,

The Coconut grows up straight and tall,

The Neem tree's fruits are very small,

The Tamarind gives us pleasant shade,

The Date’s leaf is as sharp as a blade,

The Teak tree gives us useful wood,

The Mango gives us fruit that is good.

Adapted and based on a poem by Sara Coleridge
