First Line: A monastery of talking trees
Last Line: The burden of the world!
Subject(s): Trees
A monastery of talking trees,
whispering prayer,
living in the walls of meditation,
is yonder each greying night
with swaying aloe robes:
they are penitent trees.
O crushing is the weight of darkness,
the burden of the world!
