THE CONFIDANT by LEONORA SPEYER

First Line: THE WOOD IS TALKING IN ITS SLEEP
Last Line: GREEN, GARRULOUS WOOD; I TRUSTED YOU SO!
Subject(s): TREES;

The wood is talking in its sleep. --
Have a care, trees!
You are heard by the brook and the breeze
And the listening lake;
And some of the birds are awake,
I know --
Green, garrulous wood; I trusted you so!
