[Page 80]
SBY 5/6/18
O noble tree, so stately and so proud,
That hurled a scornful challenge to the wind,
Alas! too soon thy leafy head is bowed,
To puny mortal's needs thy life assigned
I watch the flame a-glowing in the night,
And know that what thou wer't thou art no more,
A heap of ashes mark thy proud delight,
As "dust to dust" laughs Nature's mocking law.
