THE HEART OF THE TREE.
What does he plant who plants tree?
He plants friend of and sky;
He plants the flag of breezes free;
The shaft of beauty towering high;
He plants home to heaven anigh
For song and mother-crOon of bird
In hushed and happy twilight heard
The treble of heavens harmony
These things he plants who plants tree.
What does he plant who plants tree2
He plants cool shade and tender rain
And seed and bud of days to be,
And years that fade and flush again;
He plants the glory of the plain:
He plants the forests heritage;
The harvest of the coming age;
The Joy that unborn eyes shall see
These things he plants who plants tree.
What does he plant who plants tree?
He plants, In sap and leaves and wood,
In love of home and loyalty,
And far-Cast thought of civil good
His blessing the neighborhood
Who in the hollow of his hand
Holds all the growth of all our land
A nations growth from sea to sea
Stirs In his heart who plants a tree.
