THE WIND IN THE TREES by KATHARINE TYNAN

First Line: SOUND OF WATERS IN THE TREE
Last Line: FIND THE BELOVèD SEA AT LAST.
Subject(s): SEA; TREES; OCEAN;

SOUND of waters in the tree
All new-leafed and heavenly,
Waters going, waters flowing,
To some far belovèd sea.

Every tree is vocal; under
The clear bird-notes a soft thunder
Of the the waters flowing, going
Some dim waterway of wonder.

Sound of waters hurrying past,
Rivers travelling, quiet, fast,
Many waters, flowing, growing,
Find the belovèd sea at last.
