It is not growing like a tree
In bulk, doth make man better be;

Although it falls and die that night--
It was the plant and flower of Light.

And wan, grey olive-woods, which seem
The fittest foliage for a dream.

Of ancient trees falling while all was still
Before the storm, in the long interval
Between the gathering clouds and that light breeze
Which Germans call the Wind's bride.

Brightened the glens; the new leaved butternut
And quivering poplar to the roving breeze
Gave a balsamic fragrance.
