From off majestic forms,

Whose hearts, in the living sap kept warm,

Are fearless of wildest storms.

Round us the forest, in mellow haze,

Shuts a still glory in;

Under its shadow the cattle graze—

Soon to it we shall win!

Shaking their nuts from laden limbs,

Sharing the squirrel’s mite,

Gaily we’ll gather on tufted moss
