THE FOREST GIANT 



By Charles Albert Brewton 



Tall, stately, grand, it rears its head, 

 The monarch of the woods, 



From out its topmost branches peer 

 The eyes of fairy gods. 



King of the trees, it stands erect, 



As Nature's monument, 

 While saplings thin and puny men 



Look up in wonderment. 



What but a superhuman hand, 



A never-failing eye, 

 Could build from but a single seed 



A ladder to the sky?
