THREE WOOD SONGS: 1. TO A DOGWOOD IN SUMMER, by WILLIAM ALEXANDER PERCY Poet's Biography

Last Line: Your moonlight and your snow.
Subject(s): Dogwood; Snow; Summer; Trees
First Line: They tell me that essential you
Last Line: Your moonlight and your snow.
Subject(s): Dogwood; Snow; Summer; Trees
They tell me that essential you
Is just essential me --
Electrons shifting, you'd be man
And I a twinkling tree.
That could have happened easily
Odd twenty years ago,
But you, to match me, must have worn
Your moonlight and your snow.
