THE PINE TREE by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON

First Line: THE SOMBER PINE IS A NORSEMAN GRAVE
Last Line: AND WHAT REMEMBERING ROOTS HAS HE!
Subject(s): COLD; GRAVES; PINE TREES; SOUL; TREES; WINTER; TOMBS; TOMBSTONES;

THE somber pine is a Norseman grave
Brooding some saga old,
Calmly chanting a solemn stave,
Scorning the winter's cold.
There's a Norland soul in this ancient tree,
And what remembering roots has he!
