Subject(s): Oak Trees
First Line: Draw you your tangled drapes about your twisted form
Last Line: Of those who greet the spreading dawn.
Subject(s): Oak Trees
Draw you your tangled drapes about your twisted form
Still standing proudly; your grandeur is not gone
Though gnarled your beaten trunk: your veins are warm.
Life ebbs and flows through you, old oak; a victory's won.
Your trembling limbs so lashed by fury of the storm
Are bruised and stripped of lovely garments green;
But rain and wind have ceased, all now is peaceful, calm,
And with majestic trim you stand erect, triumphant, queen
Of those who greet the spreading dawn.
