First Line: The close green hedge, as table set
Last Line: "but I was oak"" and ""I was beech."
Subject(s): Earth; Nature; World
The close green hedge, as table set
With gold, has caught the pointed leaves;
The beech and linden now are met,
Their mingled color earth receives.
But in the twilight's rolling mist,
When kindled fires through low mounds reach,
The glowing skeletons insist
"But I was oak" and "I was beech."
