“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 […]

“The Popular Poplar Tree When the great wind sets things whirling And rattles the window panes, And blows the dust in giants And dragons tossing their manes; When the willows have waves like water, And children are shouting with glee; When the pines are alive and the larches – Then hurrah for you and me, […]

“A Tree A tree that once stood alone A tree that was unstable and not very strong A tree that didn’t have much of a chance for a tree for no one did understand A tree that was so afraid to let go for that reason that tree never learned to grow A tree that […]

“The Tree Fair tree! for thy delightful shade ‘Tis just that some return be made; Sure some return is due from me To thy cool shadows, and to thee.

“Voices Of A Tree As the suns rays begin to fade, and people enter the houses that have been made, by the sacrifice of the fellow trees…now silent, to serve those humans whose thoughts resemble those of a tyrant; Humans approached me for food, I gave them as much as I could, Men approached me […]

“A Forest Song A song for the beautiful trees! A song for the forest grand, The garden of God’s Own land, The pride of His centuries. Hurrah! for the kingly oak, For the maple, the sylvan queen, For the lords of the emerald cloak, For the ladies in living green. So long as the rivers […]
