A poem for today




There builded boles          of beeches ancient
marched in majesty          in myriad leaves
of golden russet          greyly rooted,
in leaves translucent          lightly robéd;
their boughs up-bending          blown at morning
by the wings of winds          that wandered down
o'er blossomy bent          breathing odours
to the wavering water's          winking margin.

J.R.R. Tolkein
