ISAIAH VI:13
"As a teil-tree or an oak,"So the ancient prophet spoke "Whose heart remaineth when they shedTheir leaves!" The prophet now is dead,But on a girl his mantle fallsAnd heartens other funerals.
December stood in confidence,Winter long had pitched his tents,When she and I together cameAlong a way without a name;And there she bade me lift my headThe while those verses old she said.
A knotted oak above the snowI saw within a pasture grow;A sturdy tree, not over high, —Some several inches more than I.His leaves were gone, but in the airHis branches other beauty wear.
About him little whips of windA wreath of winter sunlight bind.
descriptionPage 136
The snow upon his feet is cold,But in his heart is more than gold.And light that only winter knowsSprings up to blossom on the snows.
