338 ARBOR DAY 



X is xanthoxylum, bitter bane 



Whose virtue is strengthening power. 



Y is for yew tree, dwelling alone, 

 Friendless and sad we know. 



Z is for zenith, the point above, 

 Toward which the trees all grow. 



SONG 

 (Tune, "Buy my Flowers") 



Apple, beech, and cedar fair, 

 Fir and hemlock, worthy pair, 

 Elm and oak and maple queen, 

 Lords and ladies robed in green! 

 On this joyous Arbor Day 

 Duty's pleasant call obey. 



Plant the trees, 

 Plant the trees this Arbor Day. 



Grand old trees, we love them all! 

 Pine and poplar waving tall, 

 Tulip tree and walnut, too, 

 Willow sad and lonely yew. 

 On this joyous Arbor Day 

 Duty's pleasant call obey, 



Plant the trees, 

 Plant the trees this Arbor Day.
