    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.

And if I read more

You'd scarce expect one of my age
To speak in public on the stage;

Large streams from little fountains flow,
Tall oaks from little acorns grow.

But only God can make a tree.
