“The Sugar-Plum Tree Have you ever heard of the Sugar-Plum Tree? ‘T is a marvel of great renown! It blooms on the shore of the Lollipop sea In the garden of Shut-Eye Town; The fruit that it bears is so wondrously sweet (As those who have tasted it say) That good little children have only […]

“Leaves of Fall As we sit back and observe the leaves of fall, We can silently, and observantly, ponder it all. How our lives seem to go so fast, And how our years have quickly became the past. When we are young, we hardly understand How fast time goes, how fast the falling sand. But […]

“The Class Tree Grow thou and flourish well, Ever the story tell of this glad day; Long may thy branches raise To heaven our grateful praise; Waft then on sunlight rays To God away. Deep in the earth today, Safely the roots we lay, Tree of our love; Grow thou and flourish long! Every our […]

“Mother Nature Our world is always changing, Constantly rearranging. From ocean depths to mountain peaks, Mother Nature moves and speaks. While telling stories of our past She tries to teach us how to last. Mankind, so smart, sometimes blind Leaves common sense far behind. We’re moving fast and living large, Forgetting Mother Nature’s in charge. […]

“Forest Hymn Oh ancient pillars to the sun, Thy willful arms do raise, From shadowed depths of deep disgrace, Thy fingers whisper praise.

“My Love’s An Arbutus My love’s an arbutus By the borders of Lene, So slender and shapely In her girdle of green. And I measure the pleasure Of her eye’s sapphire sheen By the blue skies that sparkle Through the soft branching screen. But though ruddy the berry And snowy the flower That brighten together […]

“The White Birch Have you seen the white birch in the spring, in the Spring? When the sunlight gleams upon her branches in the spring? When her green leaves, young and tender, Through their soft concealment render Glimpses of her outlines slender in the spring. Have you seen her wave her branches in the spring, […]

“Silver Birch Forest The evening breeze sings the forgotten songs Of ghosts of nymphs ‘tween silver birches there. And beams of moonlight fall on grassy lawns: A pearly cloak e’erywhere the eye sees fair. So many gentle dawns took care to kiss Along the flowered, verdant forest floor. In this blessed land so filled with […]
