THE REDWOOD, by GRACE COOMER First Line: In majesty the mighty redwood stands Last Line: Ever reaching up to heaven and to god. Subject(s): Sequoia Trees; Redwoods | |||
In majesty the mighty redwood stands, Regarding not the tread of marching time, The secrets of the centuries in her heart, And growing through the years to height sublime. While men and ants their futile battles wage Who come and go -- atavic to the clod -- The redwood, sphinx-like, stands age upon age, Ever reaching up to Heaven and to God. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SUMMIT REDWOOD by ROBINSON JEFFERS FOR ALICE WALKER (A SUMMERTIME TANKA) by JUNE JORDAN AMONG THE REDWOODS by EDWARD ROWLAND SILL TO A REDWOOD TREE by PHILIP H.
