A WIDE WORLD OF PLANT-LIFE 43 



" How strong each pillared trunk; the bark 

 That covers them, how smooth ; and hark, 

 The sweet and gentle voice 

 With which the leaves rejoice ! 



" May a like strength and sweetness fill 

 Desire, and thought, and steadfast will. 

 When I remember these 

 Fair sacramental trees." 



J. D. C. Pellow.i
