LIVE OAK -
The'way of an oak is wondrous
. Since first a flaming sword
Kept it fair in Eden
Before the face of the Lord.
There is no tree that blossoms
But prays that it may be
As fair, as strong a sapling ~
As the Garden of Eden tree.
The birth tree prays in beauty,
The willow in humble tears;
The fruit trees pray in service,
The pine in growth of years;
The cedar prays in fragance,
The elm in: grace and height,
The maple prays in shelter
For beast and bird's delight
But a live oak weathers winter?
Storm and struggle and strife?
The way of an oak is foursquare,
The way of the Tree of Life.
?Fanny de Groot Hastings.
