Ilex Paraguariensis

This is a descriptive piece which identifies the herb Yerba Maté: a faaiirly common beneficial herb consumed by almost everyone here in my country.

From fathoms of this world, it grows:
A greenish leaf of hearty loaves;
That stem doth sings, the song of health,
And root do springs nature's wealth.
From there tis brought: "be herein!"
As all applause: "O what a glim!"
**********
Holly Family, plants be praised,
Genus Flex got its glory made.
Cut, and harvest; smoke and trim,
Warm the tarted tattered twig.
For wet tis grown, bush yet to rise
Trees, envious, : "Yari's moonlight!"
Love potion of.. friendship likewise!
**********
He that brought Lord's masterpiece:
Respect we ought to thee "mate;"
So name's thus, so named it be:
Tea of Il'x par'guari'nsis.
Yet names make none, o friend, come!
Let us melt inside this pun:
Yerba herb: fine nature's cut
That names won't change, no matter what.
