O stately oaks! so tall and grand, Long nia you majestic stand! With s va ing banners of dark green leaves, Stirred gently by the morning bree e, You whisper patience, strength, and cheer To all who pass, and pause to hear. O fir trees with your boughs of green! Yini sough in blasts of winter keen, ■Sour sighs foretell, Blue Books, Exams, And study hours, and hurried crams. You make us long for days of June A ' ith roses, birds and bees atune. Old sNcamore upon the hill! Vou stand a spectre white, and still, The balmy breeze from out the west. Scarce stirs your leafy boughs at rest. Do goblins dance, by light of moon. With ghostly shades to Elfin tune. C) locusts! with your fragrant sprav Where honey bees delight to sprav, Where song birds trill at depth of dawn. Ere golden sunlight tints the lawn. ' Tis you who tell us spring is here, And banish winter brown and sere. O maple trees so blythe and gay. With slender trunks of silver gray. How merrily your green leaves dance, How wrathful Mr. Crosby ' s glance. When minds from Tenfelsdroeckh would stray. And long for you and close of day. O Guilford ' s tree Our hearts delight If clouds hang low or day be bright! We ' ll dream of you where ere we roam In sunny clime or Northern home. For aye to those who seek your shade Your wisdom lend to man or maid, M. E. M. W., ' 14. Page eleven
