MY DOGWOOD TREE, by ETHEL DAVIDSON WOOD
First Line: I wish that you could see
Last Line: All through the silent night.
Subject(s): Dogwood
First Line: I wish that you could see
Last Line: All through the silent night.
Subject(s): Dogwood
I wish that you could see
My flow'ring dogwood tree.
It stands so straight and tall
Quite near my garden wall,
With Spanish mosses twined
Which flutter in the wind,
Like mantles old and gray
That lightly swing and sway.
When blossoms first appear,
You'd think Snow had been here
Scatt'ring her flakes of white
All through the silent night.
