Excerpt from Gallery of Art: Poems A lazy tree across a brook, Where sunshine yields to shadow; Suggests a place where lovers sat, While plowmen turned the fallow. Where brambles pitched their tangled tent, And sunlight never entered; There lovers breathed the breath of peace, There waves of love were centered.
