THE MUSIC OF THE PINES, by WARREN CHENEY
First Line: These woods are never silent. In the hush
Last Line: Before he played them on the human heart.
Subject(s): Pine Trees
First Line: These woods are never silent. In the hush
Last Line: Before he played them on the human heart.
Subject(s): Pine Trees
These woods are never silent. In the hush
Of the high places, solemnly there goes
In endless undertone the stately rush
Of music—windy melody that grows
And ebbs and changes in uncertain time—
As if some pensive god tried here apart
Vague snatches of the harmonies divine
Before he played them on the human heart.
