THE PINE TREE AND THE PALM TREE 



At the North there standeth a pine tree 

 Alone on a barren steep. 



Under a cover of ice and snow- 

 It sleepeth a heavy sleep. 



'J A*- jj. dreameth of a palm tree 



That far in an Eastern land, 

 Alone and silent moumeth 

 On the burning desert sand. 



— Heinrich Heine
