Last Line: Is there no word to tell to me?
Subject(s): Trees; Silence
THE tree stands very straight and still
All night long far on the hill;
But if I go and listen near
A million httle sounds I hear.
The leaves are little whispering elves
Talking, playing by themselves,
Playing softly altogether
In the warm or wind}^ weather.
Talking softly to the sky
Or any bird that dartles by,
O little elves within the tree.
