Lines to a Young Redwood
BY Edward Clarke

Youthful redwood, straight and slim,
Growing In the forest dim.
Pause awhile and look around!
You are now on hallowed ground.
There beside you giant trees
Grew for nifty centuries
Shaggy tops that touched the sky.
Tough old hearts that wouldn't die.
They were great when Time was young,
Strong ere battle flags were flung.
Beautiful in days before
Mankind aught but dg leaves worei
Honest ere insurance tricks
Wed with crooked politics
Even you could be as tough
Qf you lived quite long enough
Be as tough and be as great.
But. alas. another fate
Waits for you and other trees
Little homes for refugees
Must be builded. Mighty stores,
Factories and schools by scores.
Churches. temples courts and iails
Wait for hammer, saw and nails.
Here city soon must grow
Where the fire laid 1t low.
Youthful redwood, straight and slim,
Growing in the forest dim,
An accounting soon you must
Render to the lumber trust.
Woodsman's ak and ripping saw
Execute the Lumber Law;
Fell the tree whose size affords
scantlings. shingles. planks or boards;
Fell the tree and saw and ship
Everything but bark and chip;
Rough or planed, or green or dry,
Sell-and make the prices high
