Of all our garden-trees that I had chosen.

Rhod.

The thickest one! Maybe; but certain ’tis

The one that stood the nearest to the wall.

Hero.

The thickest one of all! I clambered up

And pierced into a very night of green.

’Twas well-nigh eerie when the golden day

Was thus behind me left, and in the darkness

I still crept on.
