THE FOREST FIRE by GLADYS CROMWELL

First Line: THESE PINES COULD FEEL THE WIND, THE SNOW
Last Line: WHO FIND IN FLAME THEIR BLOSSOMING.
Subject(s): FIRE;
THESE pines could feel the wind, the snow,
The April sun;
But through them now no changes flow.

These pines could feel the grief and mirth
Of quiet years;
But now they know unchanging dearth,

And they can feel no mood of spring --
Like certain souls
Who find in flame their blossoming.
