THE PINE TREE by HEINRICH HEINE

First Line: IN THE FAR NORTH STANDS A PINE TREE, LONE
Last Line: POINT LOOKOUT PRISON, 1864.
IN the far North stands a Pine-tree, lone,
Upon a wintry height;
It sleeps: around it snows have thrown
A covering of white.
It dreams forever of a Palm
That, far i' the Morning-land,
Stands silent in a most sad calm
Midst of the burning sand.
POINT LOOKOUT PRISON, 1864.
