SONG OF THE OREGON PINE
1 am a harp of a thousand strings
Awake the fantest voice that sings
Coo of the dove its in the nest
Softly echo with passionate zest!
Call of the wolf to its whelps in the night,
Veirdly l whisper with wild delight.
1it of the lark in the upland lea,
Moan OF the waves the sun-kiSsed
Joy or the surf on the rockbound beach
These gather and set TO speech
Groom OF the river. winding afar.
Crash of the wave the distant bar.
Sigh of the magical summer night,
Scream OF the eagles dizzy flight
The song that trembes my strings
Is the broken chords of thousand thingsi
Outward. inward my harp strings reach,
Bringing from Chaos the pine trees speecht
Wonder and Mystery. Joys and Fears
The multiple song OF thousand Years!
