Subject(s): Trees
ON heaven's rim, when day is done,
There is a lone last tree,
That gathers from the setting sun
A morning memory.
And when at night my dues I pay
For sunny hours, I find
The tree that held the dying day
Transfigured in my mind.
So you renew my glory gone,
And as I turn to age
My youth in you sets out upon
Eternal pilgrimage.
