THE TREE
OH to be free of myself,With nothing left to remember,To have my heart as bareAs a tree in December;
Resting, as a tree restsAfter its leaves are gone,Waiting no more for a rain at nightNor for the red at dawn;
But still, oh so stillWhile the winds come and go,With no more fear of the hard frostOr the bright burden of snow;
descriptionPage 136
And heedless, heedlessIf anyone pass and seeOn the white page of the skyIts thin black tracery.
