First Line: They are so dark, the cedars
Last Line: Into a waiting pool.
Subject(s): Cedar Trees
THEY are so dark, the cedars,
They keep so still a house!
Muffled in purple silence
They fold their brooding boughs.
Yet they are shaped like music
When the heart listens most!
They are the wind's brave gesture,
The singing river's ghost.
And twilight in their branches
Is murmurous and cool
Like strings of water falling
Into a waiting pool.
