TREES WALKING, by                    
First Line: When on dark starless roads I ride
Last Line: And open endless aisles for me.
Subject(s): Trees


When on dark starless roads I ride,
Grim, stalwart oaks step out to see;
And when I near my own hillside,
White birches run to welcome me.

In summer, when the long days wane,
Elms stroll against an orient sky,
While in the moonlit country lane,
Poplars in couples hurry by.

Bronze beeches, walking hand in hand,
With me climb glowing autumn slopes;
While serried ranks of cedars band
To march and fight for my lost hopes.

In God's cathedral, fragrant, dim,
The altars rise both far and free,
While pines swing censors high to Him
And open endless aisles for me.
