To An Old Tree

Good morning, all,

TO AN OLD TREE.
By ANNETTE WYNNE
Artist Josephine Wall.
THE tree must stand, it cannot run;
Whatever comes of snow or sun
It has to bear; it has no fears;
Knowing not regret nor tears
It stands and stretches to the sky
Without a murmur, plaint or sigh—
And this has stood a thousand years,
And seen ten thousand storms go by!
