GIANT TREE, by LUCILE LE CLERCQ First Line: Giant tree within the wood Last Line: Giant tree within the wood. Subject(s): Sequoia Trees; Redwoods | |||
Giant tree within the wood, Something makes you strong and good: You have wisdom that I need -- You who sprang from a tiny seed. Ere my childhood you had stood, Giant tree within the wood; Generations come and go -- You with upward vision grow. Beneath your spreading arms we stand -- Make us strong and calm and grand. We'd be like you if we could, Giant tree within the wood. | 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.
