Pear Tree is a poem by Hilda Doolittle (1886-1961). Below you can listen to a recording while reading along with the text.
Silver dust
lifted from the earth,
higher than my arms can reach,
you have mounted.
O silver,
higher than my arms can reach
you front us with great mass;
no flower ever opened
so staunch a white leaf,
no flower ever parted silver
from such rare silver;
O white pear,
your flower-tufts,
thick on the branch,
bring summer and ripe fruits
in their purple hearts.
