Excerpt from The Trees of Northeastern America: Illustrations From Original Sketches
I said I will not walk with men to-day,
But I will go among the blessed trees, -
Among the forest trees I 'll take my way,
And they shall say to me what words they please.
And when I came among the trees of God,
With all their million voices sweet and blest,
They gave me welcome. So I slowly trod
Their arched and lofty aisles, with heart at rest.
Then all around me as I went.
Their loving arms they lightly bent,
And all around leaf-voices low
Were calling, calling soft and slow.
I could not fail to know
The words they whispered so,
Nor could I onward go
From words so sweet and low.
