PLANT A TREE.
He who plants a tree.

He who plants tree
=. Plants hope.
Rootlets up through ibres blindly grone;
Leaves unfold In to horizons free.
So mans life must climb
From the clods Of time
Unto heavens sublime.
Canst thou prophecy, thou little tree,
What the glory Of thy boughs shall bel
He who plants a tree,
Plants a Joy;
Plants comfort that will never cloy
Every day fresh reality.
Beautiful and strong
To whose shelter throng
Creatures blithe with song.
II thou couldst but know, thou happy tree,
He who plants a tree,
He plants peace.
Under its green curtain jargons cease,
Leaf and zephyr murmur soothingly;
Shadows soft with sleep
Down tired eyelids creep,
Balm Of slumber deep.
Never hast thou dreamed, thou blessed tree,
OF the benedlction thou shalt be.
He who plants a tree,
He plants youth;
Vigor won for centuries, In sooth;
|. fe of time, that hints eternity
Boughs their strength uprear,
New shoots every year
On old growths appear.
Thou shall teach the ages, sturdy tree,
Youth Of soul is Immortality
He who plants tree,
He plants love;
Tents of GOODNESS spreading out above
Wayfarers he may not live to see.
Gifts that grow are best;
Hands that bless are bIest;
Plant; Life does the resti
Heay en- and earth help him who plants tree
And his work its own reward shall be.

the world closes its eyes when we lie
down to sleep. There are men who
fear to act according to their own con
