another star bejewels the heaven!
33 THE LAST OAK Strike me not, O sturdy woodsman, while as yet I am not dead, Centuries have rolled beneath me since I raised o'er earth my head, And I stand, a lonely monarch — for my race has passed away — Looking at the stars at even, and the busy world by day.
I have seen my comrades falling, all around me, one by one, So I ask you leave me standing till my lease of life is run.
Then, when all my leaves have fallen, and my limbs are hanging low, And I feel ...no more the raindrop, or the v/inter's sturdy blow; When my trunk is dry and rotting, and my roots imbibe no more, Fell me, and, v/hile I am falling, listen to my crash and roar!
With me then shall go the stories which the ages caused to be.
From the Saxons' early coming through the days of Chivalry; When I sav/ the fields about me soaking oft with human blood, Conflicts waged by greedy nations coming hence from o'er the flood; When I learned the sign of battle in the night so clear and still 34 By the glim'ring campfires burning brightly on the distant hill; When I saw the knights in armor on their chargers ride afield, And the hills returned the echoes when the brazen trumpets pealed.
