The Trees of France 



All honor to the trees of France, 

 That grew so tall in days of yore; 

 Hewn down in hate by Hun advance, 

 I nose martyred forests are no more. 



All honor to the trees of France, 

 So proudly cut to save their land; 

 Oh sad, regretful circumstance. 

 But not hy ruthless Teuton hand. 



All honor to the trees of France, 

 Her stately forests yet to he; 

 Whose seeds are planted not hy chance. 

 But sent from friends across the sea. 

 Elizabeth T. McQaw
