TREES IN YELLOWSTONE FOREST, by                    
First Line: The silent generations hold you fast
Last Line: A universe of beauty to renew!
Subject(s): Beauty; Trees; Yellowstone National Park


The silent generations hold you fast --
Primordial rocks from ages long since past --
Your roots lie deep within the ancient mould.
You guess the secrets vanished stars have told;
You plumb the hidden meaning of the years,
The wounds of sorrow -- all its pain and tears.
You know indwelling life, its ebb and flow;

Each rhythmic melody, each mystic throe;
And when the cycle comes full round you trace
Your joy against the skies like filmy lace --
Your branches spilling over sun and dew --
A universe of beauty to renew!
