33．Trees（在线收听） |
| 33．TreesIn the Garden of Eden(1), planted by God,There were goodly trees in the springing sod-Trees of beauty and height and grace,To stand in splendor before His face: Apple and hickory, ash and pear,Oak and beech, and the tulip rare,The trembling aspen, the noble pine,The sweeping elm by the river line;Trees for the birds to build and sing,And the lilac tree for a joy in spring;Trees to turn at the frosty callAnd carpet the ground for their Lord's footfall;Trees for fruitage and fire and shade,Trees for the cunning builder's trade;Wood for the bow, the spear, and the flail,The keel and the mast of the daring sail-He made them of every grain and girth(2)For the use of man in the Garden of Earth,Then lest the soul should not lift her eyesFrom the gift to the Giver of Paradise,On the crown of a hill, for all to see,God planted a scarlet maple tree.(3) |
