Poetry

The snow-covered treeSparkles in the soft moonlight.

The wind rushes by.

I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree.

Joyce Kilmer

'O DREARY life,' we cry, ' O dreary life ! 'And still the generations of the birds

Sing through our sighing, and the flocks and herdsSerenely live while we are keeping strife

With Heaven's true purpose in us, as a knife

Against which we may struggle ! …..

Patience Taught By Nature Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Nature -- sometimes sears a Sapling --Sometimes -- scalps a Tree --Her Green People recollect it

When they do not die --Fainter Leaves -- to Further Seasons --

Dumbly testify --We -- who have the Souls --

Die oftener -- Not so vitally -- ”

Nature -- sometimes sears a Sapling

Emily Dickinson

“To the artist there is never anything ugly in nature.”

Auguste Rodin
