AEGEUS: WIND IN THE POPLARS by SOPHOCLES

First Line: AS IN THE BOUGHS OF A TALL POPLAR-TREE
Last Line: MOVES 'NEATH THE BREEZE, AND WAVES HER LEAFY PINIONS.
Subject(s): POPLAR TREES;

AS in the boughs of a tall poplar-tree,
If nothing else, at least her shivering top
Moves 'neath the breeze, and waves her leafy pinions.
