First Line: Tall silent firs with your lifted arms
Last Line: Haggard, and gaunt, and beautiful still.
Subject(s): Courage; Valor; Bravery
Tall silent firs with your lifted arms,
Fearless and still in the cold grey dawn—
What did God give you that sets you apart
From all other trees?
Brave quiet firs in the early light,
Rising out starkly against the sky,
Dwarfing all others that grow by your side—
Haggard, and gaunt, and beautiful still.
