AS LONG AS THERE ARE TREES As long as there are trees, I shall have faith In growth and grandeur of the human soul. The stalwart oaks that touch the chang­ing skies, The pine-trees, tall and dark and still. The birches with their lithe and slendep stems, Are but a triad of the inner world Where roots and branches, foliage and all Receive their birth and constant nour­ishment. There is a message in the rustling trees Of utter strength as of humility, And I can vision mankind, more mature. Like yonder thickly wooded mountain range, Like that majestic wave of surging green That limits the horizon. By Gerhard Friedylblq* On account of the death of his father N. E.
