286 Practical Orcharding On Rough Lands, 



He who plants a tree 

 He plants love. 

 Tents of coolness spreading out above 

 Wayfarers he may not live to see. 



Gifts that grow are best, 



Hands that bless are blest, 



Plant — Life does the rest. 

 Heaven and earth help him who plants a tree, 

 And his work his own reward shall be.
