Alfred, Lord Tennyson: The Oak

136 2 0

By chiralphenomena

Live thy life,

Young and old,

Like yon oak,

Bright in spring,

Living gold;

Summer-rich

Then; and then

Autumn-changed,

Soberer hued

Gold again.

All his leaves

Fall'n at length,

Look, he stands,

Trunk and bough,

Naked strength.
