1920 • • ATHENA • • 1920 The Old Beech All scarred by storms and carved with many a name Made indistinct by beating rain and snows Of a hundred years, the ancient beech tree grows Upon the green. A giant tongue of yellow f ame It burned when long ago the builders came Then, in its wide spread shadow grey walls rose. Beneath its boughs a stream of students goes. But no autumn finds these thousands just the same. And we have also passed beneath that beech. One day. perhaps within the twinkling dew Upon its leaves we saw a vision new A revelation, strange, that seemed to reach Into our very soul. How e ' er it be Others now are passing neath that tree!
