@3Deus Robur Meus.@1 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! @3Deus Robur Meus.@1 | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CACHE LA POUDRE by JAMES GALVIN THEY HAVEN'T HEARD THE WEST IS OVER by JAMES GALVIN ON A TUFT OF GRASS by EMMA LAZARUS TOWARD THE GULF; DEDICATED TO THEODORE ROOSEVELT by EDGAR LEE MASTERS GOOD-BYE DOROTHY GAYLE: THE ROAD TO BUFFALO by KAREN SWENSON |
