QUESTION by LEXIE DEAN ROBERTSON

First Line: WHAT IS THE LOVELY MYSTERY OF TREES
Last Line: OR BARREN WINTRY LIMBS ASK ALMS OF GOD?
Subject(s): GOD; RELIGION; THEOLOGY;

WHAT is the lovely mystery of trees
Whose hungry roots grope blindly through dark sod
So that in light, green leaves may kiss the breeze,
Or barren wintry limbs ask alms of God?
