Subject(s): Elm Trees; Violence; War; World War Ii; World War Ii - Atrocities; Second World War
We marvel how the elms can grow
For years and not complain,
For autumn's sleet or winter's snow
Or April's pouring rain!
Their beauty lures us in the May
Beside the road and hill
Where robins build their nest and sing
When dawn breaks cool and still.
