SALUTE TO THE TREES


Many tree is found in the wood
And every tree for its use Is good:
Some for the strength of the gnaried
root,
some for the sweetness of flower or
fruit:
some for the shelter against the
And some to keep the heart-stone
Some for the roof and some for the
beam,
And some for a boat to breast the
In the wealth of the wood since the
world began
The trees have offered their gifts to
4 man.
But the glory of trees is more than
their gifts:
'Tis a beautiful wonder of life that
lifts.
From a wrinkled seed in an earth
bound clod,
A column, an arch in the temple OF
God,
A pillar of power. a dome of delight,
A shrine of song. and joy OF sight!
Their roots are the nurses of rivers in
BIRTH.
Their leaves are alive with the breath
of the earth;
They shelter the dwellings of man;
and they bend
Ger his grave with the look OF low
ing friend.
I have camped in the whispering for
est OF pines,
I have slept in the shadow of olives
and vines;
In the knees Of an oak, at the foot Of
palm
7 have found good rest and siumber's
balm,
And now. when the morning silds the
boughs
OF the vaulted elrp at the door OF my
house.
7 open the window and make salute:
God bless thy branches and feed thy
root,
Thou hast lived before, live after me.
Thou ancient, friendly. faithful tree.
