Class Poem By day aspiring pines defy the oak, Whose gnarled arms, in quiet tolerance, Stoop low to guard and house the forest folk: At night the cypress in the dark silence Mourns tearless by the tearful willow, gaunt Against the mist-veiled moon that climbs on high Omniscient, queen o'er spirit folk that haunt The wood by night ....

On the lake shore under the rising moon, The ancient speaks: This Wood is a world unborn That lives at night to fade with dreams That break as does the dawn in streams Of ribbon rent asunder by the sun .,.. I am the sage of things to come By night I live, by day struck dumb I sleep in the minds of youth . . . But now the night is ebbing fast The eastern blue on hills, grey cast, Washes the shore of another dawn . . Fourteen
