Gems, first poem: The Greeting

Sisters, we come from each rocky dale,
Each woodland home, and each fertile vale, --
From the mountain side, the city's hum,
The shores of each mimic lake, we come.
Your approving smile we meekly wait --
Accept the wreath from the Granite State.
For you we have come, with the laugh and song,
To each and to all our tributes belong.

As the lover twines a garland fair,
To deck the loved one's clustering hair,
What varied hues in the chaplet beam,
And each from contrast the lovlier seem;
Thus now, from among our granite-bound realms,
A chaplet we'll wreathe, bright-sparkling with GEMS --
A boquet culled from its gardens anew --
And twining with care, inscribe it "FOR YOU."

-- Myron.

ECD: This poet's first name is not given. I could find nothing more on him or Her anywhere online.
