Music Of the Pines

Oh, the music Of the pine trees!
Oh the solemn. soulful music!
Swelling mid the lofty arches.
Like some grand cathedral antheml
Overhead the roof of azure,
Gemmed with glittering hosts OF heaven
Pillared by the stately pine trees.
Reaching up to pierce the ether.
Broad their stately branches spreading
Fringed the needles long and slender.
And the wind, among them moving.
Wakes their tender, soulful music
Music Of the heart they utter.
Now with sudden restless motion.
Telling of the earnest struggle
with the busy world, and restless;
Till, at last, the conflict ended,
Pean-like tho voice Of triumph
Swells abroad, through all the arches.
Noise of battle, din and conflict
Waken when the tempest sways them.
How their branches toss and mingle;
How the slender spires are shaken!
How the tempest RACES in theml
Now, with gentle voice. they whisper
Tsnderly of love and absence;
OF the cherished hearts that fondly
Beat for us beyond the mountains.
Sadly Of the night they whisper,
OF the fearless night of sorrow.
When, alone amid the darkness.
True. hearts wait to catch the cleaning
OF the first glad hope Of morning.
Now the music swells like sobbing,
AS they speak of darkened hearthstones
OF the hearts estranged by GOODNESS,
OF the wanderer and the homeless.
Now they tell Of household treasures
Buried from our sight forever;
OF the anguish and the wailing;
OF the darkness and the sorrow;
OF the night that knows no morning.
Oh, the music of the pine trees!
Oh, the sobbing. moaning pine trees!
How I love the varied touches
OF thy tender, soulful music!
Each one in my heart an echo
Wakens with its magic sounding.
For my life has known their gladness;
For my life has known their sorrow.
