    Where is the pride of Summer,--the green prime,--
    The many, many leaves all twinkling?--three
    On the mossed elm; three on the naked lime
    Trembling,--and one upon the old oak tree!
    Where is the Dryad's immortality?

banks are fringed by large Ponderosa pines. In the slanting sun
of late afternoon the shadows of great branches reached across
the river, and the trees took the river in their arms.

I think that I shall never scan
A tree as lovely as a man.

A tree depicts divinest plan,
But God himself lives in a man.

It is not growing like a tree
In bulk, doth make man better be;
Or standing long an oak, three hundred year,
To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere:
A lily of a day
Is fairer far in May,
Although it falls and die that night--
It was the plant and flower of Light.

The place is all awave with trees,
Limes, myrtles, purple-beaded,
Acacias having drunk the lees
Of the night-dew, fain headed,
And wan, grey olive-woods, which seem
The fittest foliage for a dream.
