Then every tree that climbs the steep fell-side—

Young oak, yet laden with sere foliage;

Larch, springing upwards, with its spikey top

And spiney garb of horizontal boughs;

The veteran ash, strong-knotted, wreathed and twined,

As if some Dæmon dwelt within its trunk,

And shot forth branches, serpent-like; uprear'd

The holly and the yew, that never fade

And never smile; these, and whate'er beside,

Or stubborn stump, or thin-arm'd underwood,
