Deus Robur Meus. OAK, with thy straightness, Oak, with thy wholeness, Oak, with thy brightness, Hearten me! Aid me! Rooted in passionate earth, Crowned in ethereal blue, Breathing ineffable love, Shelter me! Shade me! With thy sweet strength, With thy cool peace, With thy green joy, Touch me and thrill me! Spirit of patience, Spirit of courage, Spirit of wisdom, Cover me! Fill me! Balm-giving oak, Force-giving oak, Self-giving oak, Inspire and elate me! Lovely green tree of life, Happy tall tree of hope, Holy great tree of good, Oh, consecrate me! Deus Robur Meus. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE PROBLEM OF DESCRIBING TREES by ROBERT HASS THE GREEN CHRIST by ANDREW HUDGINS MIDNIGHT EDEN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN REFLECTION OF THE WOOD by LEONIE ADAMS THE LIFE OF TREES by DORIANNE LAUX A SEPTEMBER BIRTHDAY IN BRITTANY by ABBIE FARWELL BROWN |
