In the presence of the following witnesses: 1241 Miss Nellie Beaumont Miss Geraldine Elliott Miss Dorothy Stophlet TO MY PINE O Pine that dared the hill crest To rest your twined feet, And far above the water The mad wind dared to meetl Your roots are bare and knobb'd, Your gnarl'd trunk reaches west, Your east length boasts no branches, Why did you choose this rest? I-low long have you stood watching Against the morning sky? I-low long, how many ages Have wild winds whistled by? I-low many summer waters Have laid in peace below? How many winter's blizzards Have bound you in their snow? And still you stand triumphant! Tho' bent, you reach as high As cow'rdly trees that dared not A hill, 'gainst wind-swept sky. Old Pine, you've felt the sunshine, You've caught the raindrop tearsw I hear your branches whisper Dear mem'ries of the years. -Stella I-lazen. THE SENIORS
