THF. LESSON 0 F THE OAK Within the wood are many trees And some are big and tall With branches swaying in the breeze, But one looks down on all; It did not reach those heights sublime With hut a single stroke . . . It took long years of steady climb To form the lofty oak. That one small acorn in the ground Could rise up strong and grand Until it was a monarch crowned Is hard to understand; It did not sleep within the soil Until great strength awoke, But years of patient faithful toil Brought out the sturdy oak, ’Tis true the little leaves we see, Which on their lofty height Add grace and beauty to the tree May burst out overnight; But they are bom for one brief day, -4s fir turns to smoke They flourish, fade and pass away Before the mighty oak. The leafy branch is not the mark By which we fudge the length. Nor is it just the outside bark Which gives the oak tree strength; We cannot measure real success By grace or outward cloak ... It takes long years of faithfulness To grow a stalwart oak. C.A.
