THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER 9 CLASS POEM And they are as a young forest, A strong young forest of many-specied trees. Fresh clean verdure stretches eager toward the sky. Long hard rooting wisely holds to warm brown soil. Beautiful in whole, in each part beauty shows. The splendid oak, the slender birch, - Slim elm, and constant maple, The charmed spruce, with stardust Sprinkled even at this early age, The quick and ever-growing pine, And simple blossomed dogwood tree unite, Each touched with vivid life, to glorify, Fulfill, and earn their place and plan on earth. And they grow as a young forest, The Great Head Forester using all His aids. New, broad spaciousness gives room for added growth. Weak, dead branches, parasite, may find no place. Nature gathers forces, plies them on to work. A gentle rain, a beating rain Washes clean and stimulates them. A glowing sun, magnetic, Draws them upward, reaching toward the light. From north and south and east and west, Causing great symphonies of sound, testing Their strength, teaching them when and how and why To yield 0r brace for struggle, soars the wind. And they are as a young forest; And they grow as a young forest; And they shall be as a great forest, in future time. Jean Malloy.
