MARCH 21.

IN THE REDWOOD CANYONS.

Down in the redwood canyons cool and deep,

The shadows of the forest ever sleep;

The odorous redwoods, wet with fog and dew,

Touch with the bay and mingle with the yew.

Under the firs the red madrona shines,

The graceful tan-oaks, fairest of them all,

Lean lovingly unto the sturdy pines,

In whose far tops the birds of passage call.
